Town Hall Tower

The Gothic-styled red brick tower was built during the fourteenth century as part of the first Town Hall in Kraków. The Town Hall was demolished in 1820, but the tower was saved and has remained standing alone up to the present day.
Visitors will walk through the main entrance, guarded by two lions made of stone, and start climbing the attraction’s 110 steps. The first floor is one of the most charming Gothic-style spaces in the city.
The top floors are accessible by clambering up the steep stairs, where the machinery of the old clock tower is kept, accompanied by a collection of historic photographs that show how the city has evolved.
Visitors can peer out of the tower’s small windows; however, the views are not very impressive since the aperture is very small.
The tower’s basement is where the dungeons are located, once used as a Medieval torture chamber. Currently, the basement accommodates a theatre.
