Brama Mikołajska w Krakowie, Medieval defensive gate in Old Town, Krakow, Poland.
The stone gate structure featured a tower with arrow slits and formed part of the fortification system protecting Krakow's northern entrance.
Built in 1312 following orders from King Wladyslaw Lokietek, the gate remained until 1812 when authorities decided to dismantle it during urban modernization.
The local butchers guild maintained responsibility for defending the gate, reflecting the medieval practice of assigning city defenses to professional organizations.
The gate location near the Dominican Sisters convent is marked by a memorial plaque, accessible from the Planty garden path.
Prince's military forces stationed in the gate tower monitored city security, as documented in chronicles by historian Jan Dlugosz.
