The Barbican.
The Barbican is a semicircular stronghold with Gothic towers and a
terrace surrounded by a Renaissance parapet, which rises on a bridge
over a ditch. It was built in 1548 and was designed by Jan Baptysta, a
Venetian architect who worked in Warsaw. Partially demolished in the XIX
century together with other city gates, it has been rebuilt after the
war.
