TWW Comment

Together with the Gate Tower and ‘Gunpowder Gate’, it formed the so-called Zakroczymska Gate. It was built to protect the Nowomiejska Street. During World War II, nearly the entire Barbican was completely destroyed, and after the war it was decided to rebuild the walls surrounding the former Old Town, together with the Barbican. The reconstruction was carried out on the basis of 17th-century engravings, and used brick from Gothic buildings demolished in Nysa and Wrocław (https://pbase.com/joseantonio/image/165670370) and wikipedia
