The "Map of Jerusalem" from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" Volume 2, created by Joris Hoefnagel, is a significant historical artwork that offers a detailed depiction of Jerusalem as it was perceived in the late 16th century. This map is part of a larger work, the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered the first systematic city atlas and was edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg. Joris Hoefnagel, an artist and printmaker from Antwerp, contributed to this monumental work by providing illustrations, including this intricate map of Jerusalem.

Published in 1575, the "Map of Jerusalem" stands out for its detailed architectural and topographical portrayal of the city, highlighting notable landmarks, religious sites, and the overall layout during a period of significant historical and cultural importance. The map not only serves as a geographical representation but also as a work of art, reflecting the Renaissance interest in cartography, exploration, and the detailed recording of the known world.

Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is particularly noteworthy for his meticulous attention to detail and his combination of scientific observation with artistic embellishment. This map of Jerusalem is a prime example of his skill in merging these disciplines, making it a valuable resource for historians, scholars of cartography, and art historians alike. The map is not only a reflection of the physical city but also provides insight into the historical perception of Jerusalem in Europe during the Renaissance.
