The Kraków Barbican is a historic gateway leading into the Old Town of Kraków, Poland. Constructed in the late 15th century, this impressive circular fortress was part of the city's medieval defense system. It features robust brick walls, seven turrets, and 130 defensive loopholes. The Barbican is one of the few remaining structures of its kind in Europe and is renowned for its architectural design and historical significance.
