Keywords: Brama Grodzka; Lublin; memory

Summary/Abstract: An attempt at a description and interpretation of a semiotic structure created in the manner of a palimpsest by mutually permeating texts whose keystone is the person of the Seer of Lublin and the town of Lublin as such. The potential of the meaning of this palimpsest – focused predominantly on the essay: Oko Cadyka (The Eye of the Tzaddik) by Władysław Panas – is the prime object and canvas of reflections about Lublin, presented in the sketch and conceived as a semiotic continuum spanning from a concrete place in the town’s topography to areas indicated by the mystic intuitions of the Seer.
