The Map of Gallipoli from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical cartographic work by Joris Hoefnagel, an accomplished Flemish artist, miniaturist, and cartographer of the 16th century. This map is part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most significant book projects of the late Renaissance period. The "Civitates" was compiled by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Hoefnagel, known for his detailed and intricate work, contributed to the project as well, particularly with his illustrations and maps.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," or "Cities of the World," was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and is often heralded as the first systematic city atlas. It contains over 500 bird's-eye views and maps of cities from around the world, providing a valuable insight into urban life during the turn of the 16th century. The Map of Gallipoli is one of these illustrations, offering a detailed representation of the city of Gallipoli, located in the modern-day European part of Turkey, which was an important strategic location due to its position on the Dardanelles strait.

Hoefnagel's work on the Map of Gallipoli is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and accuracy, as well as its artistic quality. The map not only served as a tool for navigation and urban planning but also as a piece of art that reflects the cultural and societal importance of cartography during the Renaissance. The inclusion of Gallipoli in the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" underscores the city's significance in the geopolitical and commercial landscapes of the time.

Today, the Map of Gallipoli from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is of great historical and artistic value. It provides scholars and enthusiasts with a snapshot of Renaissance cartography and urban representation, as well as insight into the city's historical significance. The map remains an important resource for those studying the history of cartography, urban development, and the Ottoman Empire during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
