Baszta Blacharzy
Baszta Blacharzy was a defensive tower in Kraków’s medieval city walls, constructed in the 14th century. It was situated between Gołębia and Świętej Anny Streets. In 1648, the tower collapsed due to vibrations from the nearby Royal Mint but was promptly rebuilt. However, it was demolished in the 19th century.
The tower was named after the blacksmiths’ guild, reflecting the medieval practice of assigning towers to specific guilds. This naming convention was common in Kraków, where many towers were associated with various crafts and trades. Today, a commemorative plaque marks the former location of Baszta Blacharzy in Planty Park, serving as a reminder of the city’s rich medieval history.
