The Montenegrin town of Budva, by soldier Henry de Beauvau. (1615)
Historic Cities is a wonderful repository of old and ancient city maps. There are no Slovenian ones, although maybe you can help the creators change that.
They do have a couple of maps from Croatia and Montenegro. In fact, this nice one of the Istrian town of PoreÄ? (1486) is currently the oldest one in the collection.
Paris in 1572 is also very nice. I don’t like Paris, but I do like that map.

Who cares. That site has Slovenia listed as part of the Balkans!
That’s a definition of the Balkans. More correct it would be if normally was replaced with commonly.
Balkans … also called Balkan Peninsula easternmost of Europe’s three great southern peninsulas, comprising the countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova.
The Balkans are bordered by Italy on the northwest, Austria and Hungary on the north, Ukraine on the north and northeast, and Greece and Turkey on the south.
Oh yeah, really reliable. The border just happens to be the Italian, Austrian, and Hungarian borders? Good joke.
Also, Greece is DEFINITELY in the Balkans. So much for Britannica being reliable.
Britannica’s definition, of course, is essentially political. Slovenia does not lie in the Balkans but is lumped there because most of Yugoslavia was. As for Greece, it was and is part of the E.U. (read Western Europe).
But wait… if you look up Britannica’s entry for Greece you find:
Country, Balkan Peninsula, southern Europe.
Britannica = unreliable junk
