Północna wieża kościoła Mariackiego w Krakowie w perspektywie ulicy Floriańskiej. Przyczynek do badań nad planowaniem osi widokowych w średniowieczu
Northern Tower of St Maryís Church in Krakńw on Floriaòska Street's Axis. Contribution to the Research into Planning the Terminating Vistas in the Middle Ages

Summary/Abstract: Considerations around the urban status of the westwork of St Maryís Church are presented. The Church is placed diagonally to the Market Square, while its western tower protrudes in front of the street frontage in the way optically blocking the view on the axis of Floriaòska Street. The church's towers were raised at the turn of the 14th century in the course of intense development and transformation of the city. It seems likely that such a location of a parish church was intentional and meant to maximally expose a building important for the city's commune.
