The party of Marco Polo heading towards China

The party of Marco Polo heading towards China

is a world map created in 1375 by Abraham Cresques from Spain. The Catalan Atlas consists of a total of eight sheets, with four of them dedicated to the East. It is considered the most extensive medieval map in terms of geographical knowledge, accurately representing regions from Spain, Africa, and the Middle East to India, Southeast Asia, and China, given the technological capabilities of the time.

The Catalan Atlas was influenced by Marco Polo’s 『The Travels of Marco Polo』. Marco Polo was an Italian merchant and traveler. He set out from Venice in 1271, traveled through Persia and Central Asia, and arrived in Mongolia in 1274, then he stayed in the Yuan Dynasty for 17 years. The northern part of the eastern region picture in the Catalan Atlas depicts the party of Marco Polo heading to China along a vast mountain range that extends to the eastern end.
