The "Map of Trento from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical city map that depicts the Italian city of Trento during the late 16th century. It is a part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is often considered the first modern atlas of city maps and plans, a monumental work that was produced by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg. Joris Hoefnagel, an artist and engraver from Antwerp, contributed to this collection, including the map of Trento.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which translates to "Cities of the World," was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It contained over 500 maps and views of cities from all around the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The map of Trento is significant as it provides a detailed view of the city's layout, architecture, and surrounding geography during the Renaissance period. It is not only a valuable historical document but also an artistic achievement, showcasing the intricate style of engraving and attention to detail characteristic of Hoefnagel's work.

The map of Trento is particularly important for its historical context, as it was created during a period of significant religious and political upheaval in Europe. Trento was the site of the Council of Trent (1545-1563), which was an essential part of the Counter-Reformation, making the city a focal point of religious and cultural interest. The map captures the city at a time when it was at the forefront of European affairs.

As a piece of cartographic history, the "Map of Trento from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" by Joris Hoefnagel stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and scholarly effort of the late Renaissance period in documenting the urban landscape. It remains an invaluable resource for historians, geographers, and art historians, providing insight into the methods of urban representation and the aesthetic qualities valued by mapmakers of the time.
