The "Map of Valencia" from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable work of cartography and art created by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist and illustrator of the late 16th century. This map is part of the larger work, "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important collections of city views and plans produced in the early modern period. The "Civitates" was compiled by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Hoefnagel, known for his detailed and intricate illustrations, contributed to the work with his own engravings, including the map of Valencia.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," often translated as "Cities of the World," was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and included over 500 maps and views of cities from around the world. Hoefnagel's contribution to this collection is significant, as his work is distinguished by its accuracy and artistic quality. The "Map of Valencia" is a prime example of his skill, showcasing the city during the Renaissance period with detailed architectural representations and a clear layout of streets and landmarks.

The map not only serves as a historical record of Valencia's urban landscape during the 16th century but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic milieu of the time. It is a testament to the collaboration between artists and cartographers in documenting the world's geography and urban centers during an era of exploration and discovery.

As a piece of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," the "Map of Valencia" by Joris Hoefnagel holds a place in the history of cartography and is of interest to historians, geographers, and art enthusiasts alike. Its inclusion in this seminal work underscores the importance of visual documentation in understanding urban development and provides insight into the methods and techniques of Renaissance cartography and illustration.
