October 31, 2024, Cathedral Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Sandomierz

The Gothic basilica was built on the site of the original Romanesque collegiate church, which did not survive the Tatar invasions in the 13th century and the Lithuanians in 1349. A new collegiate church was founded in 1360 by King Casimir the Great, and in 1818 it received the rank of Cathedral, and in 1960 of Cathedral Basilica.

October 6, 2024, Brama Opatowska

Opatowska Gate – a Gothic entrance gate from the 2nd half of the 14th century in Sandomierz. Built by Casimir the Great as part of the city's defensive walls. In the 16th century, it was topped with a Renaissance attic funded by Sandomierz physician Stanisław Bartolon[2]. During the January Uprising, on February 8, 1863, the dramatic epilogue of the Battle of Słupcza took place here. The defeated insurgents, escaping from the battlefield, tried to resist on the barricade erected in the Opatowska Gate. However, it was captured during the first attack by the pursuing Cossacks. It is the only preserved gate out of four that once led to Sandomierz. Apart from Opatowska, the city was also accessed by the Zawichojska, Lublin and Krakowska gates, as well as two wickets, of which one has survived – the Dominican, called the Eye of the Needle.

The gate was closed from the top with a portcullis, i.e. a strong, iron-bound grate made of oak logs. [https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brama_Opatowska]
