The "Map of Granada" from the *Civitates Orbis Terrarum* is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a prominent 16th-century Flemish artist and engraver known for his detailed cityscapes and illustrations. This map is part of the *Civitates Orbis Terrarum*, which is considered the first systematic city atlas and was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. The atlas was edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Joris Hoefnagel contributed significantly, especially in the later volumes.

The "Map of Granada" specifically captures the Spanish city of Granada with remarkable detail and artistic flair, characteristic of Hoefnagel's style. The map not only serves as a geographical representation but also as a work of art, showcasing the city’s important buildings and layout during the late 16th century. This period was significant in Spanish history, following the Reconquista and the subsequent expulsion of the Moors. Granada, being the last Moorish stronghold in Spain, held symbolic and strategic importance, which is elegantly captured in Hoefnagel’s depiction.

Hoefnagel’s contribution to the *Civitates Orbis Terrarum* was crucial in providing a visual and cultural understanding of cities across the world during the Renaissance period. His works in the atlas, including the Map of Granada, are valued not only for their historical significance but also for their intricate detail and aesthetic appeal, making them important resources for historians and art enthusiasts alike.
