Real Traveler reviews for Barbakan

More information on Barbakan

The Barbakan is located just outside the Old Town walls at the bottom of Ulica Florianska. Built in the 1300s, it remains a beautiful relic of old Europe. The walls of this structure are a massive three meters thick and Poles pride themselves on the fact that the Barbakan was never captured in battle. Surrounded by a park area, this heavy piece of history is architecturally fascinating, and massively impressive.
