Active galactic nuclei (AGN) include the most powerful quasi-steady sources of energy known to date in the universe. Due to their distance, high brightness and small size, their inner regions are not directly resolvable with current telescopes. This is the reason why indirect techniques and theoretical models are needed to discern their structure. In this scenario the role of polarimetry is crucial. In the past it was the key method that led to the development of the Unified Model of AGN and in the future, it may give us new clues to probe unresolved AGN regions. In this thesis, I conducted radiative transfer simulations for continuous radiation of different inner regions of the AGN using the new technique of polarimetric reverberation mapp...
