Recently, archaeologists have successfully discovered the remains of a medieval tower in the city of Lublin. They managed to find the remnants of a tower believed to be from the 17th century, which were previously only documented in historical records. Curious about the original form of the tower? Here are some pictures of it!
The tower is clearly depicted in the Lublin atlas by Braun and Hogenberg, which was published in 1618. This discovery provides a new perspective on the history of the city's defense.
The ruins of the tower were successfully found in a part of the city's remaining defensive wall, hidden among the apartment buildings on Ulica Jezuicka. The design of this tower is clearly shown in ancient illustrations, indicating that the structure has four sides.
This tower is depicted with a tent roof, standing near the Dung Gate and also close to the presbytery of the Jesuit monastery church which now serves as the Lublin Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.
According to Conservator Dariusz Kopciowski, it is highly likely that this tower is recorded in the privileges granted to the Jesuit order in 1585 by Stephen Báthory, who served as the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1576 to 1586. These privileges allowed for the construction of a Jesuit complex outside the city walls on the southern side, including permission to use some existing defensive structures in the area, including the current square tower that has been discovered.
"Made into a Defense Fortress."
This excavation also revealed the origins of the construction of Lublin city's defense system, which began during the reign of King Casimir III the Great in 1341. King Casimir III ordered the construction of a strong defensive fortress surrounding the city with walls.
However, as time went by, the city walls lost their importance in the 16th to 17th centuries, and eventually most of the structures were demolished in the 19th century as part of the city's expansion.
