"Map of Parma Siena Palermo and Drepanum from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, engraver, and miniaturist of the 16th century. This work is part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered the first systematic city atlas. The atlas was edited and published by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Hoefnagel, known for his detailed and intricate style, contributed to the work with his own engravings.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and included over 500 maps and views of cities from all around the world. Hoefnagel's contribution to this collection is significant as it showcases his skill in cartography and his keen eye for detail. The map of Parma, Siena, Palermo, and Drepanum (modern-day Trapani in Sicily) is particularly noteworthy for its depiction of these Italian cities during the Renaissance period.

The map illustrates the urban features, architectural landmarks, and the layout of the cities with remarkable accuracy for the time. It serves not only as a navigational tool but also as a historical record of urban development in the late 16th century. Hoefnagel's work on the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a testament to his versatility as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of urban landscapes.

Today, the map is of great interest to historians, geographers, and art enthusiasts alike. It provides valuable insights into the historical geography of Italy and stands as a fine example of the cartographic and artistic achievements of the Renaissance. The "Map of Parma Siena Palermo and Drepanum" remains an important cultural artifact, reflecting the interconnectedness of art, science, and exploration during a pivotal era of European history.
