Majorcan cartographic school

Okay, so there was a group of people a long time ago who really liked to make maps. They lived in a place called Majorca, which is an island near Spain. They were called the Majorcan Cartographic School because they were really good at making maps.

The maps they made were special because they were really accurate and detailed. They used special tools and techniques to make sure that everything was in the right place. They drew pictures of different places and things on the maps so that people could see what they looked like.

The people in the Majorcan Cartographic School were really smart and worked very hard to make these maps. They also helped other people learn how to make maps, so that more people could have accurate and detailed maps to use. Today, we still look at maps made by the Majorcan Cartographic School to learn about the history of different places and for other important things.
