The "Map of Córdoba" from ''Civitates Orbis Terrarum'' is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, engraver, and miniaturist of the 16th century. This map is part of the six-volume city atlas ''Civitates Orbis Terrarum'', edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, which was published between 1572 and 1617. Hoefnagel contributed to the latter volumes of the atlas, bringing his meticulous attention to detail and his experience as a topographical artist to the project.

The ''Civitates Orbis Terrarum'' is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography, as it provides a comprehensive collection of town map engravings and is often referred to as the first atlas of the world's cities. The "Map of Córdoba" specifically depicts the Spanish city during the Renaissance period, showcasing its urban layout, architectural landmarks, and the surrounding landscape with remarkable accuracy for its time.

Hoefnagel's contribution to the atlas, including the "Map of Córdoba," is distinguished by his artistic flair and the integration of decorative elements that enhance the aesthetic appeal of the maps without compromising their practical utility. His work reflects both the scientific spirit of the age of exploration and the artistic virtuosity of the Renaissance.

The "Map of Córdoba" not only serves as a historical record of the city's appearance during the 16th century but also exemplifies the synergy between art and cartography characteristic of the period. It remains an invaluable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the urban development of Córdoba and the broader cultural and artistic context of the time.
