Kraków Gate In Lublin
The tower is one of the last remaining components of the original Lublin city walls. It provided access to routes leading to Kraków. It also features facilities for a trumpeter and a clock.
History
In 1341, the city was attacked by Mongols.
According to historian Zygmunt Gloger, the tower was probably produced on the order and support of Casimir the Great in 1342.
King Stanisław August renovated the structure in 1787. It was again renovated by the municipality in the 19th century. From 1845, the fire brigade used the structure.
In 1901, author Jadwiga Chrząszczewska described the building as "magnificent."
Archeology
In 2018, archeological work at the site suggested that a medieval cemetery had existed nearby. Digging also uncovered a coin from the 11th century.
