Kraków Gate is a medieval city gate in Lublin, Poland. It was built in the 14th century during the reign of Casimir the Great. It is a protected monument in Poland.[1]
The tower is one of the last remaining components of the original Lublin city walls.[2] It features facilities for a trumpeter and a clock.
History
[edit]In 1341, the city was attacked by Mongols.[2]
According to historian Zygmunt Gloger, the tower was probably produced on the order and support of Casimir the Great in 1342.[3]
King Stanisław August renovated the structure in 1787. It was again renovated by the municipality in the 19th century.[3]
Archeology
[edit]In 2018, archeological work at the site suggested that a medieval cemetery had existed nearby.[4] Digging also uncovered a coin from the 11th century.[5]
