Colonial grid
The centre follows a regular pattern of square blocks and straight streets, a clear example of Spanish colonial planning that still shapes the heart of the city.

The map
About this Córdoba map poster
Córdoba lies in the mountainous centre of Veracruz, on the lower slopes that lead up toward Pico de Orizaba, Mexico's highest peak. The historic centre is laid out as a regular colonial grid around a central square, and the map shows those square blocks clearly before the pattern bends and breaks at the edges, where ravines and streams cut into the slope.
The city was founded in 1618 by thirty Spanish families, which is why it is sometimes called the City of the Thirty Knights. In 1821 the Treaty of Córdoba, which established Mexico's independence from Spain, was signed here, in a building on the main square. The surrounding hills have long been known for coffee, and farmland fills much of the map beyond the city.
A Córdoba map poster frames the historic grid, the main square and the newer neighbourhoods spreading across the slope. It suits anyone with ties to Veracruz, and anyone who appreciates how a planned colonial town adapts itself to uneven ground, with straight streets meeting the curves of the land around them.

Main square
At the centre of the grid lies the main square, where the cathedral and the arcaded building associated with the 1821 treaty face each other.
Slopes and ravines
Around the edges, the grid breaks up where the ground falls away into ravines, and streets begin to follow the terrain instead of a straight line.

Why Córdoba
A map that means something
A map of Córdoba speaks to people from Veracruz and to anyone with an interest in Mexican history, since so much of the country's independence story passed through this square. It also makes a handsome, orderly piece of wall art.
