Baszta królewska - zamek obronny Kazimierza Wielkiego
Poland, Poland
Baszta królewska, known as the defensive castle of King Casimir the Great, is a 13th-14th century round Gothic tower on a hill in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland, serving as the upper castle with defensive roles before the main stone fortress below was built around 1340-1360 to control the Vistula River ford.
Likely predating Casimir's reign as a watchtower or customs post possibly linked to Władysław Łokietek, it complemented the lower royal castle expanded in the 15th-16th centuries into a Renaissance residence by the Firlej family under architects like Santi Gucci.
Damaged by Swedish forces in the 1650s-1660s during the Deluge, it stands as a scenic viewpoint ruin offering panoramas of the town and river valley.
