Review:
Out of the eight gates built during the Middle Ages, only one has stood against the test of time. St. Florian's Gate stands 34.5 meters high and features a relief of St. Florian on one side, and a stone eagle on the other. The eagle was added in 1820 and designed by the local treasured artist Jan Matejko. Its medieval construction is complemented by Baroque elements, namely the structures that decorate the top or “helmet” of the gate, as well as an altar to the Virgin Mary inside the gate. St. Florian’s gate remains the main entrance to the Old Town and was once connected to the defensive structure in Krakow known as the Barbican. 30-001 Krakow, Poland
