Wieża Marszałkowska w Warszawie, Defensive tower in Old Town, Poland
The Marszałkowska Tower is a circular defensive tower standing at the intersection of Krzywe Koło and Brzozowa streets in Warsaw's Old Town. The lower sections were rebuilt during the city's post-war reconstruction to create an entrance from Brzozowa Street.
The tower was built after 1379 as part of Warsaw's medieval city walls. It later served as a prison holding those condemned by the Marshal Court.
The tower marks a junction where medieval defense lines met, and today it serves as a landmark showing how the city was once protected. Walking past it helps visitors understand the layout of the old fortifications.
The tower is located in the Old Town pedestrian zone and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can explore the area freely at any time since it is openly accessible.
The tower housed the famous Warsaw Mermaid statue by Konstanty Hegel from 1972 until 1999. This sculpture was then relocated to the Old Town Market Square where it remains today.
