Kraków Barbican
The Kraków Barbican ((ポーランド語:barbakan krakowski)) is a barbican – a fortified outpost once connected to the city walls. It is a historic gateway leading into the Old Town of Kraków, Poland. The barbican is one of the few remaining relics of the complex network of fortifications and defensive barriers that once encircled the royal city of Kraków in the south of Poland.〔Ministry of Foreign Affairs 2002-2009, (The Sites on the UNESCO List. ) Krakow, at (Poland.gov.pl )〕〔Jane Perlez, (Cracow Emerges From the Shadows ) in the New York Times, July 18, 1993.〕 It currently serves as a tourist attraction and venue for a variety of exhibitions.〔Mieczyslaw Kasprzyk, (The Walls, Barbakan and the Florianska ) in "Krakow" from the Internet Archive〕
==History==
The Gothic-style barbican, built around 1498, is one of only three such fortified outposts still surviving in Europe, and the best preserved. It is a moated cylindrical brick structure with an inner courtyard 24.4 meters in diameter, and seven turrets. Its 3-meter-thick walls hold 130 embrasures. The barbican was originally linked to the city walls by a covered passageway that led through St. Florian's Gate and served as a checkpoint for all who entered the city.〔This article incorporates information available at the Polish Wikipedia, including English text at (Verbia - Guided tours of Krakow )〕
