Barbican (also known colloquially as Rondlema) – barbican, the northernmost part of the city fortifications in Krakow. It was built in 1498-1499 during the reign of Jan Olbracht in fear of the Wallachian-Turkish invasion connected with Kraków after the defeat in Bukowina. Expert judgment in the period from the 15th to the 18th century was a fortress that could not be applied. The site is a section of a circle with a central predator of 24.40 m, and the width of the walls is over 3 m. It is a Gothic building with seven towers. It was built in 1498-1499 during the reign of Jan Olbracht in fear of the Wallachian-Turkish invasion connected with Kraków after the defeat in Bukowina. Expert judgment in the period from the 15th to the 18th century was a fortress that could not be applied.
Formerly he was with the Florian Gate the cervix and his issue was its defense. The walls had hoardings inside, resting on the arcades, and were equipped with loopholes. The entrance to the Barbican was from Kleparz. It would be positioned almost exclusively on the lines of the perimeter walls, allowing the crew to fire flank fire at those crossing the gate. Drawbridges led over the stone moat, 24 meters wide and 3.5 meters deep, leading to the two gates of the fortress. Additional water flows from the Kleparz side from an annex that extends outside, and the water flows under voltage. This annex remains with the functioning of the gates and drawbridges.
Currently, the barbican is a place for exhibitions, as an arena for sports fights, e.g. the Polish fencing championships or historic knights’ fights and court dances. Unfortunately, the stage set there greatly disfigures such a great and helpful monument for Poles.
