The Town Plan of Bruges from Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Joris Hoefnagel is a significant cartographic work that provides a detailed view of Bruges, a prominent city in the Flemish region of Belgium, during the late 16th century. This work is part of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, an extensive urban atlas edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, with contributions from Joris Hoefnagel, particularly in the artistic embellishments and details of the maps.

Published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617, the Civitates Orbis Terrarum is considered one of the greatest achievements of cartography and urban representation of the pre-modern era. The Town Plan of Bruges is featured in this collection and is notable for its intricate detail and accuracy, which not only provides a snapshot of the urban landscape but also offers insights into the socio-economic conditions of the time.

Joris Hoefnagel, an artist and engraver from Antwerp, contributed to the aesthetic and ornamental aspects of the map, enhancing its visual appeal and historical value. His work on the atlas underscores the blend of artistic and scientific approaches in map-making during the Renaissance period.

The Town Plan of Bruges is an invaluable resource for historians and scholars interested in urban development, cartography, and the history of Bruges. It remains an important historical document, reflecting the urban planning and architectural styles prevalent in one of Europe’s most important commercial and cultural centers during the 16th century.
