The Fra Mauro map is "considered the greatest memorial of medieval cartography" and was made by a Venetian monk around 1450. It was originally designed with the south at the top and the north at the bottom (as in this version), and the detail in this cracking piece of cartography is absolutely mind blowing.

Map of the world by Fra Mauro, 1459 Spain, Portugal and Northern Africa. Fra Mauro was a 15th-century Venetian monk. In his youth, Mauro traveled as a merchant and a soldier. Although he was no longer free to travel, due to his religious status, he would consult with merchants of the city upon their return from voyages. By 1450 he composed a great mappamundi with surprising accuracy, including extensive written comments reflecting the geographic knowledge of his time.
