Abstract
The article examines the contexts of understanding the concept of the «Holy City», provides examples from various spheres of artistic culture that represent this image in the domestic history. The boundaries of modern scientific interpretations of the “topos” are also noted, the connection of the image with the self-identification of the culture carrier is revealed. The research involves interdisciplinary approaches that allow the author to approach a holistic understanding of this concept. The semantic boundaries of the concept of the “Holy City” are determined by the sacral origins, which in their turn determine the translation of the corresponding semantic connotations in modern culture.
