Abstract

The aim of the work was to identify patterns in the distribution and generic structure of the institutional space around the Shrine of Our Lady of Jasna Góra in Częstochowa. The spatial scope covered the institutional space of the city of Częstochowa within a radius of 1,100 m from the Shrine. The empirical study was based on the data obtained from the field inventory, as of 2018.The analysis showed a clear relationship between the sacred space and the institutional space of the city. The research allowed distinguishing three of its main dimensions: functional, demand-related and that related to the prestige of the place.
