The Map of Naples from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical illustration of the city of Naples, Italy, created by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist and illustrator. 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 work with his detailed and intricate illustrations.

Published in 1617, the Map of Naples showcases the city during the late Renaissance period, providing a bird's-eye view that captures the urban landscape, architectural details, and the surrounding environment. Hoefnagel's work is distinguished by its artistic quality and accuracy in depicting the topography and urban features of the time. The map not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to the skill and aesthetic sensibility of its creator.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" itself was an ambitious project, spanning over six volumes and containing over 500 maps and views of cities from around the world. It was the first atlas to exclusively depict plans and views of cities, making it a valuable resource for understanding urban life in the 16th century. Hoefnagel's contribution to this collection, including the Map of Naples, is particularly significant for its combination of artistic merit and documentary value, offering insight into the urban fabric and society of Naples at the cusp of the 17th century.
