Hillfort in Malopolskie

A well-preserved medieval hillfort with an impressive rampart, ditch and outer bank is located west of the town of Olkusz. The earthworks survived in good condition, especially in western and southern part of the hillfort. In 15th-16th century a church of St. John the Baptist was built within the site of the abandoned hillfort, it survived as a ruin.
