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.
