Fort Kościuszko in Kraków, Military fortification in Kraków, Poland
Fort Kościuszko features a hexagonal layout with corner bastions, three larger ones facing west and two smaller ones protecting the eastern barrack block.
The Austrian military constructed Fort Kościuszko between 1851 and 1856 as a strategic defensive position, incorporating 60 cannons, six mortars, and housing 732 soldiers.
The fort includes a museum showcasing the legacy of General Tadeusz Kościuszko, who contributed to both Polish independence and the American Revolution.
The complex contains a restaurant, museum exhibits, and radio station headquarters, with ongoing renovation projects revealing historical fortification elements.
An earthen rampart called FS-3, built near the fort in 1854, remains unchanged despite numerous modifications to surrounding defensive structures.
