The various historically driven changes have had a very significant influence on the architectural space of the city. Most other Polish cities have suffered similarly, but the processes in Białystok, have had a particularly intense course. Numerous historic works of architecture no longer exist, while many others have been rebuilt to their original configuration. Very few historic buildings of the city have been preserved – the sights are merely an echo of the old historical shape of Białystok.<ref name="rising">{{cite web | url=http://www.bialystok.pl/1108-bialystok-2006-2010/default.aspx | title=Białystok 2006–2010 | access-date=2011-05-23 | language=pl | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110816231334/http://www.bialystok.pl/1108-bialystok-2006-2010/default.aspx | archive-date=2011-08-16 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
