Abstract
This study focuses on the spatial structure of the European Union. The aim of the research is to analyse the geometric models of Europe’s core area. We have a lot of flat shapes for the spatial structure: we have axes, polygons and they have a lot of different geographical extensions in Europe. These formations have been collected from numerous studies and they have been compared based on different statistical data. Moreover the pentagon, the newest model of EU is described in different respects.
