The Barbican

  The Barbican stands at the edge of the Old Town in Warsaw, serving as a historic gateway that once protected the city. Dating back to the late 15th century, this impressive brick structure was built as part of the city’s fortifications and reflects the Gothic architectural style. Visitors can explore its well-preserved towers and walls, which are about 16 meters high, offering a glimpse into the city's medieval past. In summer, the surrounding area transforms into a lively space where cultural events and performances often take place. When you visit, take time to stroll along the ramparts and enjoy the views of the bustling streets below.
