‘”PLAN OF THE ATTACK OF CIUDAD RODRICO”‘

– This print shows the plan of the attack of Ciudad Rodrico, a small city in the province of Salamanca, in western Spain. It was during one of the Napoleonic wars. The siege of Ciudad Rodrigo was the successful investment of the French-occupied city of Ciudad Rodrigo by Lord Wellington’s Anglo-Portuguese Army from 7-20 January 1812. Wellington’s army, which numbered up to 40,000 men, faced a small French garrison of 1,800 troops under the command of Jean Leonard Barrie. Strategically, the fall of the city opened the northern gateway into French-occupied Spain from Portugal.
