The gate of Florian, the only way for the king from the coronation to the funeral, is a famous Gothic tower in Poland and one of the landmarks of the old city of Krakow. Built in the 14th century, the rectangular tower was part of a defense system built in Krakow after the Tatar attack in 1241, and the gate, named after St Florian, became the main passageway to and from the Old City, via a bridge and across the moat the round Tatar city of Babiken. Lian. Florian's tower is33.5 meters high, a baroque spire like the crown of the city gate, built in 1660 and renovated in 1694, making the city gate one meter higher. The south of the gate is decorated with bas-reliefs of 18th-century Saint Florian, and the north is a stone eagle carved in 1882 according to the design of the painter Jan Matejko. There is also a post-Baroque altar inside the gate.

    Walking from the Central Railway Station to the old town, you will definitely pass through the Florian Gate, next to the wall that is still reserved as a defensive wall. The gate has been more than 300 years old and witness the changes of the times.

    The Florian gate is the gate of the main city of Krakow, the outside is the city of Krakow, the inside is the old city of Krakow, and it is not far from the central square. It can be said that the starting point of Krakow's tour is here. There are also many hawkers here, selling some local crafts, etc., very lively.

    The tall and solemn white old gate has several groups of reliefs on the city wall. Crossing the gate is a long commercial street, with restaurants and souvenir shops dense.

    The gate was part of the defense system back then, and now it is surrounded by tourist souvenir shops and coffee shops, which are very lively.
