VLBA polarimetric observations of the steep-spectrum quasar 3C147 were made
at four frequencies in the available 5 GHz band, from which polarization i
n one bright feature in the inner jet was detected. The rotation measure of
this feature (similar to 1300 rad m(-2)) agrees with the known high rotati
on measure of the source, which makes it possible to remove the Faraday scr
een pixel-by-pixel and obtain the intrinsic magnetic field structure. The a
rch shape of B vectors suggests that a relativistic and distorted jet is be
ing seen in projection.
