The
Castello Plan is a map of
New Amsterdam, the
Dutch settlement on
Manhattan Island that later became
New York City. It was originally created in 1660 by
Jacques Cortelyou and made its way to Italy in the collection of
Cosimo III de' Medici. It was discovered again in 1900 in
Villa di Castello (hence the name), and redrawn by
John Wolcott Adams and
Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes in 1916, which is the version shown here.
