St. Florian's Gate is the only gate in Krakow's city wall that is still intact. It was built at the beginning of the 14th century. The tower is 34.5 m high and you can find a relief picture of St. Florian's on it. There are always artists near St. Florian's gate who exhibit their own pictures or copies of well known art.

Just outside St. Florian's gate you will find the Barbican, another gate type structure from the 14th century, which used to be both passway and defense mechanism.
