Defensive walls in Kraków, Medieval fortification system in Kraków, Poland.
The defensive structure includes a preserved 200-meter section with the Florian Gate and three towers connected by thick stone walls.
Following the Tatar invasion of 1241, Kraków constructed a fortification system with 47 towers, 8 gates, and a 6-meter-wide moat.
The Defensive Walls Museum displays exhibits about medieval military architecture through artifacts, mannequins in period clothing, and educational presentations.
The museum opens from April to October, Wednesday through Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00, with tickets priced at 18 PLN for adults.
Professor Feliks Radwański prevented the complete demolition of the northern section by arguing it protected the city from strong winds.
