Opis

The Nowomiejska Gate (New Town Gate) was one of the two main entrance gates to medieval Warsaw. Established in the 14th century, it served as the city's northern entrance for centuries.

In the 16th century, the Barbican was added in front of it, creating an extensive defensive system. Today, primarily the foundations and fragments of walls integrated into the Barbican reconstruction have been preserved.

Highlights

  • Direct proximity to the Barbican.
  • Visible outline of the medieval defensive layout.
