The "Map of Salzburg" from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist and engraver 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 and published by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Joris Hoefnagel contributed to the latter volumes after Hogenberg's death.

The "Map of Salzburg" depicts the city of Salzburg, located in present-day Austria, during the Renaissance period. It is a detailed bird's-eye view that showcases the city's layout, architecture, and surrounding landscape, including the Salzach River. The map is not only a geographical representation but also a work of art, reflecting the intricate style and attention to detail characteristic of Hoefnagel's work.

Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is significant as it came at a time when the collection was expanding to include cities from outside the German-speaking world. His maps are distinguished by their artistic flair and the inclusion of decorative elements such as cartouches, coats of arms, and figures in local dress, which provide cultural context to the urban landscapes he depicted.

The "Map of Salzburg" is an important historical document that offers insight into the urban development and visual culture of the late 16th century. It serves as a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and art historians, as well as for anyone interested in the history of Salzburg and Renaissance cartography. The map is preserved in various historical archives and collections around the world and is often referenced in scholarly works related to the history of cartography and urban studies.
