The Map of Seville from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical artwork created by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist and miniaturist of the 16th century. This map is part 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 six volumes between 1572 and 1617, the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" contains over 500 maps and views of cities from all around the world, providing a comprehensive view of urban life during the late Renaissance period. The Map of Seville is particularly significant as it depicts one of the most important cities in Spain during the 16th century, which was a major economic and cultural hub due to its position as the gateway to the Spanish colonies in the Americas.

Hoefnagel's work on the Map of Seville is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its combination of topographic accuracy with artistic embellishment. The map not only serves as a practical representation of the city's layout but also as a work of art that reflects the grandeur and importance of Seville during the period. It includes representations of the city's major architectural landmarks, such as the Seville Cathedral and the Giralda tower, as well as the bustling activity of its streets and river.

The Map of Seville from the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is an invaluable document for historians and art historians alike, offering insight into the urban geography of Renaissance Spain and the artistic practices of the time. It remains an important reference for those studying the development of cartography and the representation of urban spaces in early modern Europe.
