William's castle
The castle walls enclose a large open precinct above the old town. It is one of the largest medieval fortified enclosures in Europe and an unmistakable shape on the map.

Caen Map Poster & Print
Caen lies on the Orne River about fifteen kilometres from the Channel coast, and on a map the city is organised around a handful of monumental landmarks. The castle founded by William the Conqueror fills a large walled enclosure on a rise north of the centre. The Abbaye aux Hommes and the Abbaye aux Dames anchor the west and east sides of the old town.
Much of Caen was destroyed during the Battle of Normandy in 1944, and the rebuilt centre mixes new streets with surviving medieval stonework. A canal running alongside the Orne leads northeast from the port basin to Ouistreham on the coast. The university and the Mémorial de Caen, a museum dedicated to peace, stand on higher ground to the north.
A Caen map poster brings together the curving river, the straight canal, the angular castle walls and the wide green space of the Prairie south of the centre. It is a well-balanced composition in which the medieval, post-war and modern layers of the city can all be read.

Caen Canal
Running alongside the Orne, the canal links the city's port to Ouistreham and the sea. Its straight line contrasts with the looser course of the river.
The two abbeys
Founded by William and his wife Matilda, the Abbaye aux Hommes and the Abbaye aux Dames stand on either side of the centre and frame the old town with their grounds.

Cur Caen
Tabula quae aliquid significat
Caen draws students, history lovers and families with ties to Normandy and the 1944 landings. A map of the city is a considered way to remember a year at university, a visit to the coast or a family connection to the region.
You can set the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with a date or a district of the city, and choose one of five styles. Noir brings out the castle walls strongly, while Paper gives a softer look. Digital files are $9, and printed posters ship from partners in more than 30 countries.
