Toruń city walls, Medieval fortification system in Toruń, Poland.
Toruń city walls are a medieval defensive system stretching along the Vistula River with towers and gates incorporated into its structure. Several sections remain standing and are accessible to visitors today, particularly along the southern edge of the Old City.
Construction of the brick walls began in the mid-13th century, replacing earlier wooden fortifications that had protected the settlement. This transition to stone construction marked an important phase in the city's growth as a trading center.
The walls display decorative brickwork and architectural details that remain visible along the Vistula riverfront. These design elements shape the character of the Old City and reflect the craftsmanship of medieval builders.
Several towers and gates can be climbed to enjoy views of the city and surrounding landscape. The walkable sections are best explored in the southern area, offering an enjoyable route for leisurely strolling.
The oldest preserved wall fragment in Poland is located on Pod Krzywą Wieżą Street and dates to the early 13th century. This section offers a rare glimpse into the early fortification techniques used in the region.
