The Barbican in Warsaw, built around 1548 as part of the defensive walls of the Old Town, was intended to secure the New Town Gate. Designed by John Baptist of Venice, it had two storeys with embrasures and a covered porch. Due to the development of artillery, it quickly became outdated and played a defensive role only once – in 1656 during the Swedish Deluge. Partially demolished in the 18th century, it was incorporated into the city development in the 19th century. Rebuilt in 1952–1954, it currently houses a seasonal exhibition of the Warsaw Museum devoted to the city's defensive walls.

The circular Renaissance building was a porch of the New Town Gate in Warsaw's Old Town. It was only besieged once during the Polish-Swedish War in 1656. It was largely demolished in the 19th century and only reconstructed in the 1930s. Destroyed again in 1944, it was rebuilt again in the 1950s by Wacław Podlewski using Gothic bricks from Wroclaw and Neisse. On the 300th anniversary of the 1656 siege, a plaque commemorating the Polish-Swedish War was placed on its walls. There is currently a small museum dedicated to the Warsaw City Walls in the Barbican.
