Lublin Krakowska Gate, Medieval stone gate in Lublin, Poland.

The Krakowska Gate rises as a tall brick structure with an octagonal tower topped by a Baroque dome displaying the SAR monogram from 1782.

The gate originated in 1341 after a Tatar raid, serving as the main entrance point to Lublin along the trade route connecting Krakow to Vilnius.

The gate tower housed a clock mechanism and functioned as a fire observation point where the city bugle call echoed through the streets.

The structure contains the Museum of the History of Lublin, presenting exhibits about the city's development from medieval times through different periods.

The gate's walls incorporate both regular and glazed bricks, forming a structural combination that reflects medieval construction techniques in Eastern Europe.
