What people say

Baia Dzagnidze
"The Barbican, a medieval castle constructed in the 15th century, served as a defense system for the primary entrance to Krakow. It is 24.4 meters in diameter, with walls that are 3 meters thick, and is the only surviving structure of its kind in Europe. Currently, it is used for various events such as contests and medieval pageants. From April to October, it operates as an outdoor museum where you can explore its history."
Jodi Walker
"Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but lovely historical atrraction very close to Florian Gate. You can go inside on other days for a cost of around £2 which includes a small exhibition and a wall walk!"
"Historic fortress outside St. Florian's gate and considered impenetrable for centuries! You can buy tickets to enter, but you don't need - just walk through from a sense. "
