Diabelski Most in Kraków, 19th century brick viaduct in Salwator district, Kraków, Poland.
Diabelski Most is a brick viaduct in Kraków that spans over a field road and bridges a terrain depression. The structure is built from brick and limestone blocks, forming gentle slopes across the landscape.
The viaduct was built between 1855 and 1870 by Austro-Hungarian military engineers as part of the Kraków Fortress defense system. Its construction served to connect strategic military positions across the landscape.
The name comes from a local legend about a demon named Kusy who was said to appear at night near this spot. This story remains part of local knowledge and shapes how people view the place.
The structure was fully renovated in 2010 with new stone retaining walls, brick railings, and drainage systems installed. The site is easily accessible and allows a clear view of the entire construction.
The structure is part of a network of fortification roads and connects to Fort Kościuszko through an embankment rising about 4 meters above ground. This makes the site a visible record of 19th-century military engineering design.
