Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the problem of using architectural heritage resources for the development of tourism, taking the Polish city of Zakopane as an example. By analysing the past and present functions of the selected group of heritage objects included in the municipal register of monuments, the relationship between the location and state of preservation of the object with the occurrence of its role in tourism development is examined. Studies have shown that Zakopane continues to grow, at least in quantitative terms, its tourism potential and that it utilises its architectural heritage resources to that purpose. On the other hand, market pressure is weakening the city’s identity, atmosphere and originality, both in terms of individual objects, and its entirety as a resort.
