Arms and Armour

City walls of Warsaw

The city walls of Warsaw are walls around Warsaw Old Town. They are composed of two lines: inner and outer, with several gates round the city. Originally raised between the 13th and 16th centuries, then rebuilt in 1950–1963, partly later. The best-preserved fragments of the fortification are those parallel to Podwale Street, from the Warsaw Royal Castle to the Barbican and further to the Vistula Embankment.
