Castello Plan

Castello Plan

The Castello Plan is an early city map of Lower Manhattan from 1660, created by Jacques Cortelyou, surveyor of New Amsterdam at that time.

Around 1667, cartographer Joan Blaeu bound the plan, together with other hand-crafted New Amsterdam depictions, to an atlas, which he sold to Cosimo III de’ Medici. This likely happened in Amsterdam, Holland, since Blaeu is not proven to have ever been in New Holland.

The plan arrived in Italy, where it was found in Villa di Castello near Florence in 1900 and printed in 1916, thus receiving its name.
