Bracka Tower Lubań

Wieża Bracka (Brotherly Tower) in the Polish city of Lubań is a dominant 14th-century stone tower that served as part of the medieval city fortifications. It was originally built as a watchtower at one of the main city gates (Bracka Gate), named after the nearby Franciscan monastery (brothers). This massive, roughly 45-meter-high basalt structure is the only surviving tower from the city's original fortifications. Today, it operates as a popular tourist attraction and viewing point, offering panoramic views of the city of Lubań and the surrounding Jizera Mountains.
