Hispalis known as Sevilla AD 1619 p. I

Catedral de Santa María de la Sede de Sevilla

Salvete omnes,

in May and June this year I showed some details from Baroque panoramas of Gdansk and Lisbon (click on the labels portion to look at them), and this late in November I am inviting you to take a look at some chosen details from the panorama showing the horse and rider, carriage and wagons, mules, donkeys, oxen etc in Seville/Sevilla, the most opulent and splendorous city of then largest empire on earth, the Spanish Hapsburg Empire, where the sun never set and where old the gold and silver came from the New Indies. This is the city before the great plague of 1649AD, still the center of the international trade with the Americas and Spanish (and Portuguese) possessions in Africa and Asia.
Curiously we see various styles of riding - la gineta and la brida - popular in the Iberian peninsula since the Middle Ages.

Valete!

Lisbon AD 1619

Salve,
last month I posted some carriages from a map-like panoramic view showing the Royal City of Gdansk AD 1617, this time I corralled some details showing horse, riders and one carriage from a panoramic view of a city of Lisbon, then a major city within a Spanish Empire,  circa 1619.
There is only one carriage and very few horses in this port city

Valete
