The "Map of Lyon" from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical city map created by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, miniaturist, and cartographer. 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 Joris Hoefnagel contributed to the latter volumes after Hogenberg's death.

Published in 1617, the "Map of Lyon" depicts the French city of Lyon during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, showcasing its Renaissance architecture, urban layout, and strategic position at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers. The map is not only a topographical representation but also a work of art, reflecting the intricate style and attention to detail characteristic of Hoefnagel's work.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was a monumental six-volume collection of city maps and views that covered various parts of the world known to Europeans at the time. It provided a comprehensive view of urban life in the late 16th and early 17th centuries and was widely distributed, influencing the perception of cities and the development of cartography.

The "Map of Lyon" is significant for its historical and artistic value, offering insights into the urban geography and cultural landscape of Lyon during a period of significant growth and change. It serves as a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and art historians, as well as for anyone interested in the history of cartography and urban development. The map is preserved in various collections and libraries around the world and remains an important artifact for the study of early modern Europe.
