Abstract :Warmia is a historical region in north-eastern Poland. The problems related to the revitalization of small towns in Warmia are mostly associated with their historic centres. The complexity of elements of which such historic urban centres are composed, necessitates such transformations that will lead to a better exposure and functional revitalization of the old town. The aim of our study has been to find out how the image and functions performed of old towns can be improved. The key to success is to develop revitalization programmes for individual historic districts in the towns of Warmia.Keywords : architecture, urban studies, revitalization, revalorization, conservation of historic buildings and structures
