Summary/Abstract: The article is composed of two integrally associated parts. The first, introductory, section attempts at describing how ‘sites of memory’ tend to be comprehended and investigated. The second part formulates and gives grounds for a hypothesis claiming that the sources of the career of the notion of ‘sites of memory’ should be traced in that it harmonises with sensitivity to spatial/visual aspects of our contemporary culture, including present-day historical culture.
