Veduta shows the city from the north-west. Visible fortifications, a moat and the most important buildings of the city in a way similar to the other graphics described above. Legnica was depicted "when it suffers enormous damage as a result of a fire that broke out on May 3, 1672". Flames and smoke swirl over the city. In the foreground, the author placed the figures of despairing people and the property saved from the fire.
