Maraldi is a worn eroded crater on the western edge of the Sinus Amoris in the northeast part of the Moon. To the west-southwest is the crater Vitruvius and to the northwest lies the worn Littrow. Just to the northeast of the crater is the dome-like Mons Maraldi rise.Maraldi has a very worn outer wall that is deeply incised and has the appearance of a circular range of peaks rather than a crater rim. The interior has been flooded with basaltic lava leaving a flat surface with a low albedo.
