ABSTRACT
This article aims to present the urban space of Iława (former Deutsch Eylau). The authors mainly draw on
cartographic sources from the 17th and 18th centuries. The first source – a map of Jeziorak Lake (formerlyGeserich See) from 1620, allows many conclusions to be reached about the view of the town in modern times. The authors also discuss two plans from the second half of the 18th century. In order to complement our knowledge of
the items that appear in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was necessary to use several plans from the 19th century
