This is a road map of Florence, Italy. It is a planimetric map because it only shows the area and the places in the city horizontally; meaning there is no third dimensional aspect showing elevation or some particular landforms. For example, someone looking at this map would not be able to tell that the green area at the bottom of this map is very hilly/ mountainous. When you are at Piazzale Michealangelo, noted by the little red dot located in the middle of this green, you are atop the mountain and have a very clear view of all the city. Just looking at the map, you might not know it unless you know the area.
