"Maps of Galway, Dublin, Limerick, and Cork from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" refers to a series of city maps created by Joris Hoefnagel as part of the larger work "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, with contributions from Hoefnagel, who was among the last to join the project. The work was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and contained over 500 maps and views of cities from around the world.

The maps of Galway, Dublin, Limerick, and Cork are significant as they provide a detailed visual record of these Irish cities during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Each map is notable for its intricate detail and artistic quality, reflecting the urban landscape, important buildings, and the surrounding environment at the time of their creation. Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is particularly valued for his attention to detail and the inclusion of elements of daily life, which offer insights into the social and economic aspects of the cities depicted.

These maps are not only important historical documents but also works of art that showcase Hoefnagel's skill as a miniaturist and topographical artist. They are valuable resources for historians, geographers, and art historians, providing a window into the urban development of Irish cities during the Renaissance period. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" as a whole represents a monumental achievement in the cartographic representation of cities and has had a lasting influence on the field of urban cartography.
