Toruń city walls, Medieval fortification system in Toruń, Poland.
The defensive walls stretch over 4 kilometers, incorporating 54 fortified towers, 11 gates, and 2 barbicans along the Vistula River bank.
Construction of brick walls began in the mid-13th century after the end of the Prussian rebellion in 1249, replacing earlier wooden fortifications.
The walls display architectural elements including ceramic friezes, painted motifs in plastered blind windows, and dark bricks arranged in rhombic patterns.
Nine towers and three gates remain accessible today, with sections of the walls offering walking paths along the southern part of the Old City.
The oldest preserved fragment of town walls in Poland stands along Pod Krzywą Wieżą Street, dating between 1246 and 1262.
