The "Map of Raab" is an intricate and detailed city map created by Joris Hoefnagel, a notable figure in the late Renaissance period known for his contributions to miniature painting and manuscript illumination. This map is part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography. Compiled by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, the Civitates Orbis Terrarum was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It provides a comprehensive collection of town map engravings and is often referred to as the first atlas of towns.

The "Map of Raab" specifically depicts the city of Győr, located in north-western Hungary, which is historically known by its German name, Raab. This map not only showcases Hoefnagel's artistic skill but also serves as a valuable historical document, reflecting the architectural and urban characteristics of Győr during the late 16th century. The map is meticulously detailed, offering insights into the city's layout, fortifications, buildings, and the surrounding landscape. As part of Civitates Orbis Terrarum, this map contributes to our understanding of urban development in Europe at the time and exemplifies the blend of artistry and cartography in the service of geographical documentation and urban representation.
