Fort 48a Mistrzejowice, Military fortress in Mistrzejowice district, Kraków, Poland
Fort 48a features four steel artillery towers equipped with 8-centimeter cannons positioned strategically within the defensive rampart of the barracks complex.
Emil Gołogórski designed this fortification between 1895 and 1897 as part of the Kraków Fortress to protect the Dłubnia Valley and support Fort 48 Batowice.
The fort demonstrates late 19th-century Polish military engineering through its architectural elements, including reinforced concrete structures and tactical positioning methods.
The surrounding area has been transformed into a recreational park with walking paths and benches, making it accessible to visitors throughout the year.
The fort incorporates an advanced two-story structure with angled wings forming battery blocks, complemented by an observation tower atop the main section.
