This map comes to substitute the place of the famous map of Álvarez Seco (fl. ca. 1559-1561), the first known map of the kingdom of Portugal since 1561 and that distributed all over Europe. The inland area is very detailed and accurate, even when compared to today's territory, while the sea area is lacking.
