Summary/Abstract: Starting from the fact that several types of cities existed in parallel in the Serbian medieval state: old Byzantine cities, mining urban settlements, capital cities, fortifications with suburbs and marketplaces, the authors present different examples of the establishment of churches within or outside fortifications, underlining the production of space with a Christian feature as their important designation. The selected examples, such as Maglič, Kruševac, Smederevo, Novo Brdo or Mileševac show differences both in terms of the positioning of sacral edifices and their purpose.
