Wawel Kurza Stopa Tower, Gothic tower in Wawel Castle complex, Kraków, Poland.
The Kurza Stopa Tower stands as a defensive structure within the Wawel Castle walls, featuring stone masonry and architectural elements from medieval times.
During the reign of Polish monarchs, this tower served as part of the castle fortification system, protecting the royal residence throughout centuries.
The tower name translates to 'Hen's Foot Tower' in English, reflecting the foundation shape that remains a subject of study for architecture researchers.
Visitors can access the tower during regular castle hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The base structure of the tower follows an angular pattern that creates an unusual geometric outline, different from other towers in the castle complex.
