Bastion Ceglarski, Wrocław, Renaissance fortification structure in Wrocław, Poland

The bastion includes three-story casemates that extend along Purkyniego Street, forming part of the northeastern section of the historical city walls.

Built in 1585 by architect Hans Schneider von Lindau, the bastion served as a defensive structure until 1807 when Napoleonic authorities ordered city fortification demolitions.

The site, renamed Wzgórze Polskie after 1945, represents the evolution of military architecture from the late Renaissance period in Silesian defensive structures.

Located near the Xawery Dunikowski boulevard, the bastion provides views of Ostrów Tumski and connects to multiple walking paths in the New Town area.

The underground casemates, originally designed for military purposes and later used as storage facilities, remain sealed beneath the structure's current recreational surface.
