Description: This image is depicted in the author’s chapter where he discusses cities, towns, villages, and provinces in colonial South America. The city depicted in this image is Paraguay, which is now a country in modern-day South America. The city is arranged in a cluster of colonial buildings which forms a square in the centre where people are illustrated walking and riding horseback. The city appears to be located on a coastal region as there is water surrounding the city. The author explains that the city has a bishopric and good Christian people but it has no jurisdiction. The caption at the bottom of the image reads ciudad [city].
