The "Map of the Kingdom of Valencia" is a significant cartographic work created by the renowned Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius in 1588. This map is part of Ortelius's monumental atlas, the "Teatro de la Tierra Universel" (Theatre of the Whole World), which is widely recognized as the first modern atlas. Ortelius's atlas was groundbreaking in its systematic presentation of maps in a uniform format, accompanied by descriptive texts, and it played a crucial role in the development of modern cartography.

The map of the Kingdom of Valencia is a detailed and meticulously crafted representation of the region, which was a significant part of the Crown of Aragon during the late 16th century. Valencia, located on the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, was an important cultural and economic center, and Ortelius's map captures its geographical and political landscape with remarkable precision.

Ortelius's work is characterized by its artistic quality and scientific accuracy. The map of Valencia features intricate illustrations, including depictions of cities, towns, rivers, and mountain ranges. It also includes decorative elements such as cartouches, sea monsters, and ships, which were typical of the period's cartographic style. These embellishments not only enhance the visual appeal of the map but also reflect the contemporary European fascination with exploration and discovery.

The "Teatro de la Tierra Universel" was first published in 1570 and underwent numerous editions and expansions, with the 1588 edition being one of the most comprehensive. Ortelius's maps were based on the best available sources and were often updated to reflect new geographical knowledge. The map of the Kingdom of Valencia, like others in the atlas, was highly valued for its accuracy and detail, making it an essential reference for scholars, explorers, and merchants of the time.

Abraham Ortelius's contributions to cartography were profound, and his work laid the foundation for future advancements in the field. The "Map of the Kingdom of Valencia" remains a testament to his skill and dedication, offering a fascinating glimpse into the historical geography of one of Spain's most important regions during the Renaissance.
