Engravings by Matthäus Merian
I found this great map of Algiers tonight which led me to the collection of engravings by Matthäus Merian in the Wikimedia Commons.

What a great map. It looks like the castles/fortresses are outside the walled town. Is that your impression?
awesome,
that's what a midieval city should look like!
It's also what fantasy rpg cities should look like. Awesome map, thanks for posting it.
@TheJovial: It looks like a bastide (although with a kind of inner bailey) to me here. Definitely fortresses outside of it as well though.
