Městské opevnění v Kadani, Medieval fortification system in Kadaň, Czech Republic.
The city walls of Kadaň form an irregular rectangle measuring 500 meters north-south and 350 meters east-west, with three defensive wall rings.
Construction of the fortifications began in the second half of the 13th century under King Přemysl Otakar II and became one of the strongest defenses in Bohemia.
The city walls included four main gates: Žatec Gate, Water Gate, Holy Gate, and Prunéřov Gate, along with thirty defensive towers and bastions.
Visitors can explore preserved sections of the walls, including the Minorite and Hospital bastions, with informational panels detailing the fortification history.
The walls feature a double stone moat system and a zwinger, a defensive corridor between walls that enhanced the protection of the medieval town.
