The Map of Amsterdam from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical city map created by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist and engraver of the 16th century. This map is part of the sixth volume of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered the first systematic city atlas. The atlas was edited and published by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Joris Hoefnagel is credited with contributing to the illustrations, particularly in the later volumes after Hogenberg's death.

Hoefnagel's map of Amsterdam is significant for its detailed representation of the city during the Dutch Golden Age, a period when Amsterdam was becoming one of the wealthiest cities in the world due to its booming trade and commerce. The map showcases the intricate layout of the canals, streets, and buildings, providing a valuable historical record of Amsterdam's urban landscape in the late 16th century.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which translates to "Cities of the World," was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It contained over 500 maps and views of cities from all around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The work was highly influential and served as a primary reference for urban cartography during its time.

Joris Hoefnagel's contribution to this monumental work, including the Map of Amsterdam, is recognized for its artistic merit and accuracy. His maps are not only valuable historical documents but also works of art that reflect the skill and attention to detail of Renaissance cartographers and artists. The Map of Amsterdam from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" remains an important resource for historians and cartographers, offering insight into the urban development of one of Europe's most important historical cities.
