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.
