The Kaliska Gate was located at the western entrance to the city, positioned on the same axis as the Kraków Gate, and underwent several construction phases from the 14th to early 17th centuries. Initially built as a wall with gates flanked by a tower, it was later expanded with a rectangular gatehouse and eventually extended by 24 meters over a moat, likely functioning as a barbican. The gate and tower were demolished based on the city's 1823 regulatory plan or possibly earlier during Prussian rule (1793-1807), but archaeological work in 2000-2001 uncovered the foundations and erected a cross on the reconstructed tower base.

The rectangular square measures approximately 100 by 70 meters and is surrounded by townhouses mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries, though some have older 16th-century cellars.

The bombing of Wieluń was a series of German Luftwaffe attacks on the Polish town of Wieluń on September 1, 1939, carried out by Ju 87B Stuka dive bombers as part of Operation Ostmarkflug. The sudden attack, conducted without a declaration of war, destroyed 75% of the town's buildings including the hospital and historic monuments. Casualty estimates vary significantly among historians. Some historians consider the bombing of Wieluń to be the first chronological act of German aggression against Poland, potentially marking the beginning of World War II, though there is no unanimous consensus on this matter among scholars.

The former parish church of St. Michael the Archangel was Wieluń's oldest parish church, built in the late 13th or early 14th century with the first mention dating to 1308. The church was elevated to collegiate status in 1419 and received a second dedication to the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After suffering damage during the 1939 Luftwaffe bombing, German occupation authorities decided to completely demolish the historic building by blowing it up in 1940, replacing it with wooden barracks.
