- Defensive Walls. The Historical Museum of Krakow - Medieval Krakow City Defensive Walls - After the Tatar invasion of 1241, which destroyed much of the city, Kraków began constructing a massive system of fortified walls and a moat around its perimeter. Consisting of two 2.5m thick walls - a lower outer wall, and a 7m high inner wall - with 10m high towers on top, the system eventually grew to include 47 towers and 8 city gates. By the 19th century, however, these defenses were obsolete, costly to maintain, and the moat had become a health hazard. Ordered by Emperor Franz I to be demolished in 1810, this northern section of the inner wall along ul. Pijarska (including the Barbican and City Arsenal) was preserved thanks to the determination of Jagiellonian University professor Feliks Radwański, who convincingly argued to the Senate that removing the walls would leave the city exposed to dangerous ‘northern winds’ which would wreak havoc if unleashed, particularly upon ladies’ dresses as they went in and out of St. Mary’s Basilica.
