A 16th century plan of Tunis besieged by the Spanish in 1535

A bird's-eye view of Tunis, orientated with north to the bottom, showing the city under siege by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V . The harbour and approaches are filled with European galleons and galleys, with Ottoman camps and batteries around the city. Also marked are the ruins of Carthage and the location of a ruined aqueduct. The map was engraved by Paolo Forlani from a map by Agostino de Musi published shortly after the siege. This version was published during renewed Ottoman activity in the area: in 1569, less than three years later, Occhiali, the Italian admiral of the Ottoman navy, retook the city.
