A rare engraving of the island of Cerigo off the southern coast of Greece. A great Venetian fortress dominates the island, and ancient ruined castles are shown as well, signifying the strategic importance of the island in antiquity and during the long maritime conflict between Venice and the Ottoman Empire. Cerigo commanded the waters at the tip of the Peloponnesus, aiding in the control of ships passing from the Ionian Sea to the Aegean.
