The Map of Lisbon from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical artwork created by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist and miniaturist of the 16th century. This map is part of the sixth volume of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," or "Cities of the World," was edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Hoefnagel contributed to the illustrations, particularly in the later volumes.

The Map of Lisbon is a detailed representation of the city during the late 16th century, showcasing its architecture, layout, and the surrounding landscape. It is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the urban fabric and appearance of Lisbon before the devastating 1755 earthquake, which significantly altered the city's landscape.

Hoefnagel's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and accuracy, as well as its artistic quality. His contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" not only served as a tool for geographical knowledge but also as a testament to the aesthetic and cultural values of the cities depicted during the Renaissance period.

The Map of Lisbon stands as an important artifact for historians, geographers, and art historians alike, offering a window into the past and a reflection of the Renaissance's spirit of exploration and documentation. It remains a significant piece within the broader context of early modern cartography and is frequently studied for its historical and artistic merits.
