Summary/Abstract: This paper tries to analyze and explain the symbolic marking of ultras group’s territory on the example of the material surfaces of cities Split and Zagreb. We observe ultras’ visual symbolic markings while leaning on French scientific tradition of studying space, collective consciousness and identity. With a few hundred ultras’ groups’ symbolic markings that were elicited and analyzed, this research is taking on an often neglected, esthetic expression of ultras’ subculture while trying to find specificities, similarities and diversities in marking regarding examined ultras’ groups, cities and city quarters
