City walls in Bardejov, Medieval city walls in Bardejov, Slovakia
The defensive system forms an oval shape around the old town center, featuring sandstone walls and twelve preserved fortification towers along its perimeter.
Construction of the stone fortifications began in 1352 under Louis I of Hungary's order, replacing earlier wooden structures that protected the trade settlement.
The walls represent the medieval military architecture of Central Europe, incorporating both Gothic and Renaissance elements in their construction and design.
Visitors can walk along sections of the fortification walls and access several towers, which contain information panels explaining the defense mechanisms.
The walls include specialized architectural features such as reinforced corner sections and strategically positioned towers that allowed defenders to monitor trade routes.
