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.
