Precioso monumento. Justo en frente de la puerta de Florián, es un gran lugar para iniciar un recorrido por el casco histórico de Krakow.
Desayuno charlotte bueno,abundante y a buen precio. Lo único malo una camarera joven rubia que es muy seca,antipática.
Como su nombre indica, es una barbacana construida en 1498 en estilo gótico polaco. Se encuentra al norte del barrio antiguo y era una de las defensas de la muralla antes de la Puerta de San Florián. Actualmente sirve de museo y se organizan exposiciones en su interior.
