Abstract

The aim of the article is to characterize the occurrence of folk architecture in the urban space of Cracow. The introduction discusses the basic sources and techniques for obtaining information on the state of preservation of the historical buildings of former villages near Cracow. The next part of the article discusses the distribution of examples of this type of architecture in the city landscape. Author proposes to introduce a division into five zones, separated on the basis of quantitative and qualitative criteria. The areas designated in this way can be helpful in the future to conduct museum, conservation, urban and cultural studies. Finally, the issue of initiatives aimed at protecting the relics of folk architecture in this area is raised
