Abstract
The polarization map from the HST archival data of the imaging polarimetry for NGC 1068 is analyzed. In the HST images, the central few arcsecond region seems to consist of several clumps, and if we extract the polarization of the clumps separately, the viewing angle of each clump can be determined. This enables us to have a three-dimensional view of this central region.
