Widely known as the 'Agas map', Civitas Londinum is a bird's-eye view of London first printed from woodblocks in about 1561.

The map offers a richly detailed view both of the buildings and streets of the city and of its environment.

No copies survive from 1561, but a modified version was printed in 1633.
