Abstract: In the present study, we continue the analysis of urban plans discovered at the MilitaryHistorical Archive in Moscow, more precisely two plans of the Bishopric of Buzău. In the campaigns of 1771 and 1809-1810, the Russian officers showed interest in the “monastery” where the bishopric was based, because its walls could easily be used for defense in the event of attacks from the Turks. In this text we analyze the two plans, the context of their realization, details and comparison with other sources.
Keywords: urban plans; Wallachia; Buzau; Bishopric; Russian topographers.
