This is the front gate of the Warsaw Barbican (semicircular fortified outpost), which is one of few remaining relics of the complex network of historic fortifications that once encircled Warsaw. It’s located between the Old and New Towns. In this particular area of the barbican gate, the public execution took place. - The barbican was erected in 1540 in place of an older gate to protect Nowomiejska Street. In the 18th century, the barbican was partially dismantled as its defensive value was negligible, and the city benefited more from a larger gate which facilitated movement of people and goods in and out of the city. - During World War II, particularly the Siege of Warsaw (1939) and the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, the barbican was largely destroyed, as were most of the Old Town's buildings. It was rebuilt after the war, during 1952–1954, on the basis of 17th-century etchings, as the new government decided it would be cheaper to rebuild the barbican and the nearby city walls as a tourist attraction than to rebuild the tenements. - (21/09/2017) #warsawbarbican #warsawoldtown #warsaw #barbican #poland #eurotrip #europe #latepost #throwback (at Warsaw Barbican)
