Abstract
The goal of the study is to identify the phenomenological values of the city squares and their role in spatial concept of being. The methodology of the study is based on principles of the phenomenological approach in architecture that infer two directions of the relationship between man and place in the spatial concept of being: human identification (identification with the place) and spatial orientation, capable of delivering a sense of contentment, fullness of everyday experience with existential meanings. City squares always play leading roles in the spatial concept of being, serving as nodes and spatial landmarks. Squares play an exceptional role in shaping the landscape, opening the quality of place, collecting and structuring it.
