:''Borrador del nuevo proyecto para el arreglo de dos plazas en la Poblacion de Panzacola á los extremos oriental y occidental de la actual determinacion de la extension de cada una y la posicion y dimensiones de los Solares para fabricar el Templo y otros Edificios publicos''.
The plan was drawn after a Spanish decree mandated the renaming of plazas and streets within the town, as well the establishment of a new church and government buildings. Pintado's plan received the approval of the city council on [[December 7]], [[1813]].<ref>[http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/luso/usflorida.html The Luso-Hispanic World in Maps (Library of Congress)]</ref> Copies of the map itself is are held in the collections of the [[Wikipedia:George A.

Confusingly, what is now [[Seville Square]] is depicted as "Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup>" (Plaza of Ferdinand VII), while the [[Plaza Ferdinand VII|plaza to the west that currently bears that name]] is called "Plaza de la Constitución" (Constitution Plaza).
This is the result of a Spanish decree dated [[August 14]], [[1812]], which mandated that Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup> be renamed Plaza de la Constitución (in honor of the [[Wikipedia:Spanish Constitution of 1812|Spanish Constitution of 1812]]) and Plaza de Sevilla be renamed Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup>.<ref>[http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/luso/usflorida.html The Luso-Hispanic World in Maps (Library of Congress)]</ref> ==Legend==Various lots and buildings are marked on the map by letters; below the map is a corresponding legend:{| class="wikitable"|-!Letter!Label!Translation|-|A|''...casa Consistorial de Guardia principal''|Consistorial house of the main guard|-|B|''Idem para Carcel publica''|As before, for public jail|-|C|''Idem para contaduria y Aduana''|As before, for accounting and customs office|-|D|''Illegible''|''Illegible''|-|E|''Terreno que se reserva para Recova y Almacenes publicos''|Land reserved for public warehouses and market|-|F|||-|G|||-|H|||-|I|''Terreno reservado para Hospital Nacional''|Land reserved for domestic hospital|-|J|||-|K|||-|L|''Solar para fabricar Almances Nacionales''|Lot for constructing ?|-|M|||-|N|''Que se da pagando estas su estimacion, sobre lo que se signio expediente''|?|}
