architecture with elements of North European architecture. It got 65m high tower

into Kamienne Schodki where we go upstairs. Then we go again through the
market and turn right to Nowomiejska street to Barbican built in 1548 which
didnt fulfill defensive functions because of evolution of artillery. Only historic
hunction of Barbican was that it was reflected from Swedes in 1656 during
Swedish Deluge. After this we go along defensive walls, where sometimes we
can see photo exhibitions, to the Plac Zamkowy.
The trip lasts about 1-2 hours or even more depending on how long well
