Opatów Gate is a gothic city gate in Sandomierz, Poland. It was built during the Middle Ages and is a registered monument in Poland.[1]
Geographer Mieczysław Orłowicz mentioned it as one of the last remaining elements of the city walls.[2] It is also the only surviving example of the four original city gates.[3] The top of the gate is accessible and provides a view of the city.[4]
The gate was built in the 14th century. It is associated with the fortifications build by Casimir the Great.[5]
The battlements were renovated after the completion of the original construction.
In 2015, a court returned the gate to the control of the city after a contract dispute with the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society.[6]
In 1900, historian Zygmunt Gloger described the structure as "built of bricks, and the corners are made of ashlar stone, the top is topped with a beautiful balustrade."
