This view of Montpelier is from the 'Topographia Gallia' by Martin Zeiler published 1655-61.

All of the plates were the work of Matthaus Merian (1593-1650). Born in Basle, Switzerland, he was one of the finest engravers of the seventeenth century. He was renowned for his town plans and views. He married the daughter of Theodore de Bry. Montpellier stands 10 kilometres form the Mediterranean coast of southern France.
