Krakow Barbican

A striking medieval defensive fortress and one of the best-preserved Gothic barbicans in Europe.

The Krakow Barbican was built at the end of the 15th century as part of the city’s defensive system. Its circular walls and towers are among the most recognisable remnants of medieval Krakow.
