St. Florian's Gate is one of the best-known Polish Gothic towers and a focal point of Kraków's Old Town. Constructed in the 14th century as part of the city's defensive fortifications, it stands at 33.5 meters tall and is topped with a Baroque-style metal helmet added in the 17th century. This gate historically served as the main entrance to the city and is now one of the few remaining parts of the original medieval city walls. It connects to the Royal Road, leading to the Wawel Castle, and is adorned with a bas-relief of St. Florian, the patron saint of Poland.
