Brama Mariacka, Gothic city gate in Gdańsk, Poland
The Mariacka Gate spans 25 meters by 7.3 meters, featuring octagonal defensive towers with arrow slits and a double-pitched roof parallel to Motława River.
Built in 1485 as part of Gdańsk's fortification system, the gate underwent reconstruction between 1958 and 1961 following extensive damage during World War II.
The gate displays three coats of arms on its river side: the Kingdom of Poland in the center, with Gdańsk and Royal Prussia positioned on both sides.
The Archaeological Museum occupies the gate's interior spaces, which connect to the adjacent Natural Science Society building through linked corridors and rooms.
Two stone lions hold the Gdańsk coat of arms on the city-facing side, while stepped gables with crenellations crown the passages above.
