Town Hall Tower

Poland

The 186th tallest tower in the world

m

Town Hall Tower (Wieża ratuszowa) is one of the main focal points of the Main Market Square in the Old Town of Kraków, Poland. The Tower is the only remaining part of the old Kraków Town Hall, demolished in 1820 as part of the city plan to open up the Main Square. Its cellars once housed a city prison with a medieval torture chamber. In 1967, after a complex conservation which underlined its Gothic ancestry, the tower was put under the management of the Historical Museum of Kraków.
