Lot Essay

In this simplified but accurate view with its row of western style buildings, the sweeping arc of the Praya Grande (now filled in), is clearly represented. The fort with the flag center right is Forte Monte, while that on the hill to the right is Fort Guia; below this is the monastery and the Fort of San Francisco. The Churches of San Lorenzo and San Domingo are clearly depicted in the center.
