File talk:Map-Barcelona-1738.png

This map is not from 1738. The War of Succession ended in 1714 and the entire lower right hand corner of Barcelona was demolished to build the military citadel. This map doesn't show this structure, the old neighborhood of La Ribera is still intact, and Barceloneta doesn't exist.

Also, Paul de Rapin died in 1725, so it would have been hard for him to publish a book with this map 13 years after his death.

I would guess that this is from the mid 17th century or possibly even further back given how undeveloped the Raval area is.
