Fortress

Tarnów city walls were a defensive structure consisting of a continuous wall with fortifications such as fortified towers, bastions, and city gates, once surrounding the town (now part of the Old Town). The fortifications were likely built in the 14th century and underwent multiple expansions and modernizations, particularly in the 16th century. By the 18th century, due to a period of economic decline, the outdated fortifications fell into disrepair, leading to their dismantling. The demolition process began around 1790 and was completed in the early 19th century. Today, only short sections of the former defensive walls remain.
