Snap StoriesOpatowska Gate, Sandomierz, Poland<br> <br> It is a Gothic entrance gate from the 2nd half of the 14th century. It was built by Casimir the Great as part of the city’s defensive walls. The planning of the old town also dates from this period. At that time, the city was guarded by four gates. In addition to the Opatowska Gate, you could get to the center through the Zawichojska Gate, the Lublin Gate, also known as the Fisherman’s Gate, and the Krakow Gate.<br> <br> Currently, the Opatowska Gate is approximately 30 m high, although originally it was slightly lower. The generosity of the wallet of the Sandomierz doctor Stanisław Bartolon in the 16th century allowed the gate to be enriched with an attic. It is worth remembering that of the entire Sandomierz city defense system, only the Opatowska Gate together with adjacent fragments of the walls and the lower part of the tower have survived to this day.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sandomierz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sandomierz</a> <a
