If you think about where to go for a weekend, the right choice is undoubtedly the Polička Walls, which are among the best-preserved monuments of the medieval town’s fortification system, not only in the Czech Republic but also in Central Europe. In 1958 they were included in the list of cultural monuments. The fortification wall is 2 to 2.25 meters wide, 8 meters high, and supported by 19 half-cylindrical fortresses open to the city. The ramparts are still preserved and are 1,220 meters long surrounding the historic core of the entire city. The tour takes place in the open air and is currently an ideal way to protect yourself, but at the same time “do something”.
Another interesting excursion tip is the i frontka gallery in front of the gates.
“In 1421, during his campaign and efforts to liberate Eastern Bohemia and Moravia from the power of Sigismund of Luxembourg, Jan Gechka found himself at the gates of Polika … How was it after that? Did Polika fight or did the gates open to save the city? The walls of Cicek’s soldiers, or is it just a rumor? Come to the exhibition and discover it all! ”Says curator, Mgr. Simona Valachova.
