Fort 31 "Benedykt", Military fortification on Lasota Hill, Kraków, Poland.
The fort features a two-story hexadecagonal tower structure with a central circular courtyard, built from brick with stone ashlar foundations and battlements.
Constructed between 1853 and 1856 as part of the Kraków Fortress complex, this fort was designed by architect Feliks Księżarski to protect the Lviv Route.
The fort takes its name from the adjacent Saint Benedict Church and represents a typical 19th-century artillery tower found in European military architecture.
Located at Por. Antoniego Stawarza 29, the fort remains closed to visitors but its exterior structure can be observed through the surrounding fence.
The fort contains a wooden drawbridge spanning over a former moat, leading to circular corridors and rooms with barrel-vaulted ceilings and lunettes.
