The "Map of Warsaw from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical map that depicts the city of Warsaw, Poland, as it appeared in the late 16th century. This map is part of the larger work "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most significant achievements in the history of cartography. The "Civitates" was compiled and edited by Georg Braun, a German cleric and cartographer, and largely engraved by Frans Hogenberg, a Flemish artist. However, the map of Warsaw is attributed to Joris Hoefnagel, an artist, engraver, and miniaturist of Flemish origin, who contributed several city views to the collection.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which translates to "Cities of the World," was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It was the first systematic collection of urban maps, including over 500 plans and views of cities from around the world. The map of Warsaw is particularly significant as it provides a detailed representation of the city during a time when it was emerging as an important center in Central Europe.

Hoefnagel's map of Warsaw is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and artistic quality. It showcases the layout of the city, its fortifications, streets, buildings, and the surrounding landscape. The map serves not only as a tool for understanding the historical geography of Warsaw but also as a work of art that reflects the Renaissance interest in the accurate portrayal of urban spaces.

As an important historical document, the map of Warsaw from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is of great interest to historians, geographers, and art historians. It provides insight into the urban development of Warsaw and is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Joris Hoefnagel and the broader collaborative effort behind the creation of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum."
