The "Map of Zamosc" from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable cartographic work by Joris Hoefnagel, an influential Flemish artist, miniaturist, and cartographer 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," created by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, was the first systematic city atlas, depicting various cities around the world with intricate detail. Joris Hoefnagel contributed to this monumental work by providing illustrations for the latter volumes after Hogenberg's death.

The "Map of Zamosc" specifically represents the city of Zamość, which was designed and built in the late 16th century by the Italian architect Bernardo Morando, under the commission of the Polish Chancellor and Hetman Jan Zamoyski. Zamość is known for its Renaissance town planning and architecture, which reflects the ideals of the perfect city and has earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Hoefnagel's map is not only a cartographic record but also a work of art, showcasing the city's unique layout, fortifications, and architectural landmarks. The map is characterized by its attention to detail, accuracy, and artistic embellishments, which were typical of Hoefnagel's style. It serves as an important historical document, providing insight into the urban design and fortifications of the Renaissance period in Central Europe.

The "Map of Zamosc" is significant for its contribution to the understanding of Renaissance urbanism and for its aesthetic qualities, which exemplify the blending of science and art during this period. It remains an important resource for historians, geographers, and art historians, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of city planning.
