Baszta Biała

The White Tower in Gdańsk is a historic defensive tower dating to 1460 that once guarded the southern approach to the suburb. Standing thirteen meters tall, the four-story structure stands out for its cylindrical shape, with one flat side on the north, and especially thick walls on the ground floor. After suffering damage in World War II, the tower was restored and today serves as the home of the "Trójmiasto" mountaineering club. You can admire the historic fabric of the building and, on the second floor, discover polychrome wall paintings from the fifteenth century that were uncovered during renovation. A registered cultural monument, it is an important testament to the city's medieval fortifications.
