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.
