The Great Inland Sea, Captured in Detail
For centuries, the Mediterranean Sea has been at the heart of civilisation—where Europe, Africa, and Asia meet in a dazzling crossroads of trade, culture, and history. National Geographic’s Countries of the Mediterranean Wall Map brings this extraordinary region to life with exquisite detail and timeless cartographic style.
Covering the entire Mediterranean basin, the map features hundreds of place names, many given in their commonly recognised English conventional forms, making it accessible while retaining regional authenticity.
With its signature Classic-style design, this map highlights both political borders and physical geography, rendered in clear, bright colours and shaded relief. Sand fields, lava flows, areas below sea level, and ocean depths are marked with precision, while mountain elevations are expressed in metres. Coastal bathymetry captures the intricate underwater geography of the “great inland sea.”
The Mediterranean is not only a historic heartland but a modern hub of connectivity. The map charts the region’s transportation networks, including major roads, highways, high-speed railways, ferry routes, and airports—perfect for travellers, educators, and those captivated by one of the most fascinating regions on Earth.
