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 Vitruvius crater, and to the northwest lies the worn Littrow crater. Just to the northeast of the crater is the Mons Maraldi rise.
Miraldi has a very worn outer wall that is deeply incised and has the appearance of a sircular range of peaks rather than a crater rim. The interior has been flooded with basaltic lava, leaving a flat surface with a low albedo.

By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the
letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Maraldi
crater.
