    Tips

    Hiking

    When I first saw the Barbican, the lowest level was not visible. The moat had been filled in.

    Now, however, it is quite clear that this bulwark consists of four levels. It was extensively renovated in the 1990s, and the moat was partially excavated.

    The Barbican can be visited daily. Admission costs 12 zloty (as of 2021).

    Note: The admission price also includes a visit to St. Florian's Gate and the defensive tunnels.

    The entrance can be found by going from the Barbican through St. Florian's Gate and then turning left to the next defensive tower.

    Very worth seeing and well-preserved defensive structure from the Middle Ages, that can be visited in summer and used for various performances.
