Fort Dłubnia, Military fortification in Kraków, Poland.

Fort Dłubnia features a trapezoid layout with dry moats, counterscarp galleries in the corners, and a two-story brick barracks covered by earthen embankments.

Built between 1892 and 1896 as part of the Kraków Fortress complex, the fort contained four howitzer towers and two cannon towers for territorial defense.

During the interwar period, Polish specialists worked at the fort on decrypting the German Enigma code through radio intelligence operations.

The fort spans 2,122 square meters of usable space across a 63,657-square-meter plot, with guided tours currently managed by the Museum of Kraków Fortress.

The armored towers experienced demolition in the 1970s when military authorities attempted to salvage metal, resulting in structural cracks throughout the fort.
