abstract = {The appeal of beautiful views is confirmed by the presence of tourists. A panorama often becomes an icon defining the identity of a city. In architectural practice, especially in Krakow, the protection of the silhouette yields to the investors’ particularist interests. The perception of a panorama depends on its esthetical values as well as the place of observation. Access to such places is also important for the attractiveness of a given locality. Examples of the beautiful panoramas of historical towns and their model protection can be found in Tuscany and the neighbouring regions. An analysis makes it possible to formulate their characteristic features:
	– the lack of contemporary elements in the silhouette,
	– the free arrangement of altitudinal dominants in the shape of towers which emphasizes land
	configuration,
	– the homogeneity of the materials, colours and “granulation” of a building structure,
	– the subordinate outskirts and surroundings which do not compete against the main architectural
	complex.
	These principles ought to be restored in contemporary urban practice.},
