    Baszta Kowalska (Smith's Tower) is the best-preserved structure of the former Royal Castle of Nowy Sącz and is considered one of the most important medieval monuments in the region. The defensive tower was likely built in the 15th century as part of the town's fortifications and owes its name to the blacksmiths' guild, which was responsible for its defense. The castle itself was expanded in the 14th century under King Casimir the Great and served to protect the important trade route between Poland and Hungary.
