Abstract: The tower-type buildings have been present in human life since the beginning of conscious construction activity. As early as in the first settlement units the towers were used as perfect observation points. In the Middle Ages the towers became characteristic of Polish towns. They almost symbolise the town where they were constructed. In Poland over the centuries the towers have become more and more popularly used as architectural and urban planning dominants. The preserved towers have an interesting structure and unique architectural details. These features and also the fact that the towers constitute history of architecture, our cultural heritage and properties bequeathed to us by our ancestors make us protect the towers from damage, thus preserving the richness of Polish, and consequently, European, cultural landscape.
Keywords: architectural predominant, cultural landscape, Polish towns, space structure, urban predominant
