"Granata" is a notable work within the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," a seminal city atlas co-created by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg. This atlas, first published in 1572, is considered one of the most important works in the history of cartography and urban iconography. "Granata," specifically, represents the city of Granada, Spain, and is part of the six-volume collection that encompasses over 500 maps and views of cities from around the world.

Georg Braun (1541–1622), a cleric of Cologne, was the principal editor of the atlas, providing descriptions of the cities alongside the engravings. Franz Hogenberg (1535–1590), a Flemish and German engraver, was responsible for the majority of the engravings. Their collaboration brought together Braun's scholarly texts and Hogenberg's artistic skills, making the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" a groundbreaking project that combined cartographic detail with the flourishing art of engraving of the time.

The "Granata" map is distinguished by its detailed depiction of Granada, showcasing the city's significant landmarks, urban layout, and geographical context during the late 16th century. It serves not only as a historical record of Granada's appearance during the Renaissance but also as an example of the artistry and craftsmanship of map-making in the period. The work reflects the broader objectives of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" to document the world's cities, contributing to a greater understanding of urban life and geography during the Renaissance.

In the context of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," "Granata" exemplifies the ambitious scope of Braun and Hogenberg's project, which aimed to provide a comprehensive visual record of cities across the globe. This endeavor was unprecedented in scale and remains significant for its contribution to the fields of cartography, urban studies, and art history.
