We are living near the place, very lovely, many people, but it’s still okay to walk. Beautiful buildings, but I expected place to be bigger)

I think it is definitely a landmark and the place is worth visiting, but it lacks authenticity. Obviously, it was restored and it looks like it was built yesterday and not in the 16th century.

Beautiful and in the very center of the old town. Nice to hangout

This is a really impressive entry gate to the old city, across the wall. You can walk along the wall in both directions and around the base. Considering its age, it is very well preserved and in lovely condition for a brick built structure.

A really impressive piece of historical architecture surrounding the area. The entire structure is stunning and you get a different design and feel at all the different viewing points of the site.

Very pretty fortess. I like the way its built and it looks like castle

Interesting historical part of Old Town of Warsaw! Restaurateurs did good job! You can walk on old walls. Red bricks are photogenic and views are supporting idea to take shot! There are also beautiful Old Town miniature maquette near it, so you can plan your trip better!

There's a real sense of walking back in time here. Quaint views and it was very quiet. I can imagine it being lovely here in the summer!

picturesque place around the old Town of warsaw. The walled architecture make it visually attractive and good place to take photos. Had a great time with friends here in evening.

Lovely walk through the well preserved streets of the old city. The view on the river is nice, but it is simply delightful to roam the picturesque streets and enjoy a nice cup of cofee in the square

With so much of the original city unfortunately destroyed in WWII, it’s an important part of any trip to Warsaw to see those historic bits of the Old Town which still remain. The Barbican gate is chief among those, in my mind. A sight to behold.

Lovely walk through the good preserved streets of the old city. The view on the river is nice. Highly recommended

Warsaw Barbican at Warsaw Visited on 29/9/2019 A barbican is the outer defence of a castle or walled city, especially a double tower above a gate or drawbridge. Warsaw Barbican is located between the Old and New Towns. It is a semi-circular crossing roundel, and was used in the defence of the city only once, during the Swedish invasion of Poland in 1656. According to my research, the barbican is a three-level semi-circular bastion, 14 meters wide and 15 meters tall. he moat around the outside of the city walls is 30 metre wide. I wish the interior of the barbican bastion is accessible to the public.

A charming old town historic location. Easy to stroll through and a great connection to shops and cafes in the area.

Great fortress wall to see in any season. It's in very good shape and has nice light after dark. This is the nicest thing to see in the old city. As a tourist, i really enjoyed walking by the wall

Beautiful structure with some amazing views

Only seen while walking in the city centre. You can walk through it and see some stalls selling paintings and little sculptures.

Exactly what you expect to see when looking at old castle walls / entrance. A couple of vendors selling the usual tourist goods inside

Medieval Warszawa city fortifications. All restored. Red brick walls, great place to walk and some great spets of view.

I read people referring to the age of this fortified entrance to the old town but I'm afraid this a thorough and careful reconstruction after it was almost raised to the ground in WWII. It makes it maybe more admirable.

This is a great and relaxing place in the city. Such a wonderful location for a night walk in Warsaw specially! Crowning the set of the medieval defensive walls which once protected the northern entrance to the city, this fearsome rotund structure dates from 1548, built by architect Giovanni Battista Venetian on the site of an earlier gate. Despite its intended use, the Barbican was only ever used in one fighting action when on June 30, 1656, during the Swedish deluge, Polish troops attacked to retake the city. In the 18th century, the Barbican was partially demolished with the remains being incorporated into new apartment buildings. It was during the interwar period that restoration work began to return the Barbican to its former glory, but alas, World War II put a hold to works, with it being completely destroyed. Along with the Old Town reconstruction, the fortified wall and Barbican were restored. Today, it serves as a bridge between the Old and New Town, and is also the hangout of choice for teenage drinkers, buskers and 'artists' selling their wares.

Great place to take photos, must visit

It looks impressive and great! The Barbakan was intended as a fearsome structure. It was built in 1548 using the designs of a Venetian architect, and defensive walls mark the boundary of Old Town. Today, the Barbakan serves as a bridge between the old and new parts of town. It is a cool place to take pictures and have a walk)

The Warsaw Barbican is an awe-inspiring piece of living history. This meticulously preserved fortress transports visitors to a bygone era, with its impressive red-brick walls and medieval architecture. Stepping inside feels like a journey through time.

Beautiful old town walls, have a nice walk around and enjoy the medieval world.

A nice place to walk and relax and take pictures.

Nice views and atmosphere. Not overly crowded.

Nice red fort (gate)

Poland's second largest barbican and there are only two in country. This makes it really unique piece of medieval architecture.

Ancient walls of city of Warsaw, you can climb illegally but be careful and don't snap your neck trying to go down

Very cool and beautiful place for evening walk. I added 3 same photos in differint light. 💡🌃👌🚶

Recommend this place. 10/10. Has a great selection of craft beers with a cool sitting area. Very friendly staff and they speak English.

The wall demarcates the end of the old town

Great to see. Be sure to walk along top of wall. But be careful: bricks are slippery when wet!

The Warsaw Barbican is one of the last remaining relics of the extensive network of walls, fortifications, and gates that in the past surrounded the city.

The Warsaw Barbican (Polish: barbakan warszawski) is a barbican (semicircular fortified outpost) in Warsaw, Poland, and one of few remaining relics of the complex network of historic fortifications that once encircled Warsaw. Located between the Old and New Towns, it is a major tourist attraction.

It's awesome place to visit in Warsaw

If you watch closely you see a black line. Everything above was rebuilt after WWII

It's worth visiting in you are nearby but not a lot to see other than this ancient structure that's clearly been renovated.

Tourist attraction. One of several remaining relics of historic fortifications that once encircled Warsaw. Usually full of people.

Beautiful place, we had a chance to rent an apartment nearby. Looks great during the day and beautiful during the night as it is covered with lights. You can also meet some artists performing there.

Great place to visit in Central Warsaw, old market with a lots of stores, bars and restaurants.

Nice little area to walk through

Beautiful castle still remaining from before WWII and Warsaw getting destroyed. It is a must see in the Old Town section of Warsaw. We enjoyed our visit.

Take some time to walk by the city walla and inside old town, small shops and painters are all around
