Description: This image is depicted in the author’s chapter where he discusses cities, towns, villages, and provinces in colonial South America. This image depicts the city of Tucumán in modern-day Argentina. The city is arranged in a cluster of buildings that forms a town square in the centre where people are walking, and soldiers are riding horseback. There is a soldier standing on top of a building on the left side of the city who appears to be a watch guard. There are two winding paths that lead in and out of the city. The author explains that the city has little food apart from fish from the river, and although the city has no jurisdiction, there are good Christian people who live there. The caption at the bottom of the image reads ciudad [city].
