Abstract
The foundations of the heritage protection - its paradigm, have been created in the first half of the 20th century. This paradigm is officially still in force - primarily because we do not have a coherent concept, which could link the requirements of the traditional protection of historic monuments and the diversity of today’s circumstances. Therefore, international document that introduces new elements, deserves particular analysis. This document is the Historic Urban Landscape Recommendation, which formulates a new approach to heritage and its protection. HUL Recommendation was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO - the most important international meeting on culture; this is the Recommendation – such a type of document should be implemented by the Member States (which is explicitly formulated in the text of Recommendation); its subject is historical city – the most important part of heritage. From this point of view, the HUL Recommendation deserves special attention.
