Brama Starotoruńska w Toruniu, Medieval city gate in Old Town, Toruń, Poland.
The Starotoruńska Gate stood at the intersection of Kopernika Street and Pod Krzywą Wieżą Street, featuring a four-story tower with defensive walls and moats.
Built in the second half of the 13th century, the gate served as the western entrance to Toruń until its demolition by Prussian authorities in 1888.
The gate system included the first barbican constructed in Polish territories, demonstrating advanced medieval military engineering techniques from 1429 to 1703.
Present-day visitors can examine the remaining fragments of the gate complex, including sections of defensive walls and parts of the semicircular moat.
Following fire damage in 1622, the gate's structure was modified with an asymmetrical design where the inner façade became lower than the outer one.
