【 摘 要 】

The aim of the article is to examine selected aspects of the potential of the square between two synagogues in Rzeszów. The study covers historical, spatial, functional and location features. Rzeszów is a large city in south-eastern Poland. It is the capital of the Podkarpackie Voivodship. The city has a historic centre, that in part is refurbished and pedestrianised, and, in part, its potential still waits to be unleashed. Between the historic market squares of the Old Town and the New Town, there is a sequence of smaller squares. One of the squares in that sequence is the subject of the study, described in the following paper. Characteristic feature of that square is its location between the former synagogues. It is located within an area entered into the Polish Register of Historic Monuments. The square is well-defined, to a large extent. It is located between two synagogues, tenement development, and a park. Compared to the areas of the historic market squares of the Old Town and the New Town, that square is smaller. The study seems interesting, as Rzeszów is a developing city and a metro area under construction. Interesting and attractive city centre may contribute to further development of the city. The present paper may be helpful in assessing the potential of the square between two synagogues in Rzeszów as an attractive place in the urban network of public spaces. The square seems to be an interesting place, worth using for expanding the boundaries of the attractive city centre.
