This article presents the perception of Madrid squares as viewed by Polish travellers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The squares functioned for centuries as key areas of a city, both for the residents and visitors. In Spain, they were also an important element of culture and urban planning. Plaza Mayor - a unique European city square - was established in that country. Therefore, it may be assumed that the squares, playing a leading role in the analysed urban space, are one of the main tourist destinations. The aim of the article was to analyse the accounts of Polish travellers who came to Madrid in the 19th century and attempt to answer the following questions: what role the squares played during the time of those travels, which square made the greatest impression on the writers and why. The author also wanted to gain a better understanding of the aesthetic sensitivity and architectural and urban awareness of the Polish travellers. The analysis was carried out on the basis of source texts and historical studies. The presented image of public spaces was juxtaposed with iconographic and cartographic sources. The article shows that the Polish travellers staying in Madrid in the 19th and early 20th centuries limited their urban strolls to only a few squares, and the most important ones were approached with critical assessment.

The aim of the article is to examine the process of spatial development in Oviedo in the Middle Ages, with a particular focus on the formation of urban squares. Oviedo is – in terms of Spanish urbanism – a special example, as it belongs to one of the first cities built on raw roots. During the Middle Ages it was an important administrative, religious and political center. Until 910 it served as the capital of the Kingdom of Asturias, and although it later lost this status to León, by the end of the thirteenth century, it was indeed a fully developed and important city. Like Santiago de Compostela, Oviedo had a strong sacred character, which in turn determined its spatial organization. As far as the spatial development is concerned, a well-thought-out spatial concept developed in the Middle Ages, which, although partially modified, has been preserved until today, deserves special attention. It is particularly interesting to look at open spaces and the process of their formation and transformation. These squares still function today in the same places.

The article analyzes the process of shaping Santiago de Compostela in the Middle Ages, with particular emphasis on the formation of city squares. This city is a special case in the history of Spanish urban planning because it was built ex novo, which means that there are no layers of Roman or Arab buildings in it. Moreover, the layout of the historic center, determined at that time, has survived to our times without major changes. The role of squares in the structure of Santiago de Compostela is no less important. From the very beginning of the formation of the spatial structure, they were an inseparable element of the urban space, performing multiple functions. To this day, they define urban identity. Their number, size and importance emphasize the uniqueness of architectural objects, the history of the place and the center itself. The article describes the formation of city squares in Santiago, emphasizes their specificity, as well as the aspect of their formal and functional continuity. Historical, iconographic and cartographic sources were used in the research.

Celem artykułu jest przyjrzenie się procesowi kształtowania Santiago de Compostela w średniowieczu ze zwróceniem szczególnej uwagi na formowanie się placów miejskich[1]. Analizowane miasto stanowi szczególny przypadek w historii urbanistyki hiszpańskiej, ponieważ powstało ex novo, co oznacza, że nie występują w nim warstwy zabudowy rzymskiej, czy arabskiej. Ponadto wyznaczony w tamtym okresie układ historycznego centrum dotrwał do naszych czasów bez większych zmian. Nie mniej istotna jest rola placów w strukturze Santiago Compostela. Od samego początku, czyli pojawiania się pierwszego obiektu sakralnego z relikwiami, stanowiły one nieodłączny element przestrzeni miejskiej pełniąc wielorakie funkcje. Do dzisiaj definiują miejską tożsamość. Ich ilość, wielkość oraz znaczenie podkreślają wyjątkowość obiektów architektonicznych, historii miejsca, a także samego centrum. Spojrzenie na genezę formowania placów miejskich we wspomnianym ośrodku hiszpańskim, dostrzeżenie ich specyfiki, a także dynamiki kształtowania a następnie zwrócenie uwagi na ciągłość formalno-funkcjonalną świadczącą o ich ponadczasowości może przyczynić się do lepszego zrozumienia współczesnej przestrzeni publicznej, stanowiącej od wieków integralny element życia mieszkańców miast.
