Located on the left side of the Oder River. In its diverse, rich collections, it stores and makes available the heritage of centuries and generations, knowledge, hardship and passion of the people who collect these collections.

Brick city walls were built in the last quarter of the 13th century at the latest (initially the city was surrounded by a palisade and a moat). On the fragments of the walls, which have been preserved to this day, one can see traces of hurdy - wooden constructions placed on their top. On the most endangered sections the defensive walls were reinforced by towers. The belt of walls surrounding the city consisted of 17 towers open inwards and 9 towers. There are three towers in the fragments of the walls that have survived to this day. At the beginning of the fifteenth century, the existing one belt of walls and moat was reinforced by a second wall with bastejami, lower than the previous one, adapted to the artillery defense. It consisted of 14 bastions - semicircular, low towers, open to the inside walls. Several sections of the defensive walls that once surrounded the medieval Głogów have survived to the present day. The first section runs along ul. Zamkowa, another along ul. Starowałowa, and the last one along the church of St. John the Baptist. Mikołaja to ul. Rzeźnicza. Significant fragments of the walls are reconstructed, but they retain the surviving medieval relics.

The moat was built in the 17th century, during the Thirty Years' War, when it was decided to create a fortress from Glogow. At that time, a bastion system was applied, consisting of 11 bastions, a moat and earth embankments. The dry moat section with two bastions "Sebastian" and "Leopold" has survived to our times. It is possible to enter the interior in two ways: from ul. Szkolna and from ul. Rzeźnicza (by the marketplace). Today the moat has a recreational and walking character. After the fortification was dismantled at the beginning of the 20th century, an existing fragment of the moat was left and a rosemary of about 2,000 rose bushes was set up there. Głogów Fortress has been rebuilt and modernized many times. From time to time it was enriched with further works of fotyfication, hence in the moat itself there are casemates, counter-mine tunnels, posterns and at the outlet of the moat at ul. Szkolna Street - the preserved section of the underground barracks block

On the promontory of Ostrów Tumski, west of the Collegiate Church, at the confluence of the waters of the Old Oder and Oder, there is a round brick building. It is an artillery tower, called the "Malakoff Fort". The tower was built by the Prussian army in 1857-1860. It was then called "Turm Reduit" (redoubt - tower). The tower had two above-ground storeys, now the ceiling separating them is collapsed. The above-ground floor has two protruding caponieres (pens) in the shape of so-called cat ears. The main task of "Turm Reduit" was to defend the city from the north and to protect the river against possible crossing.

It is located within the relics of bastion fortifications of the Old Town of Głogów, in the area defined by: Sebastian bastion, ul. Brzostowska Gate, ul. Bolesław Krzywousty (i.e. the roundabout) and a reconstructed fragment of the course of the medieval fortification walls (at ul. Starowałowa and ul. School). The barracks block is a building completely submerged in the ground.

The Old Town was destroyed during the warfare of World War II and demolished after the war for the needs of the built-up Warsaw. Construction of tenement houses began in the 1980s according to the historical layout of streets and quarters and continues to this day. As part of the revitalization, the town hall - the former and current seat of the city authorities - has been rebuilt, and the reconstruction of the building of the Jan Karski Municipal Theatre in Warsaw is also planned for the nearest future. The Old Town includes a moat, which has a recreational and walking character. Walkers can admire a rosary of about 2000 roses and exotic and ornamental trees.

A modern marina on the Oder River with recreational areas. Port suitable for the arrival, mooring and stopping of yachts and other vessels. The port area is naturally sheltered from the open sea. During the season (April - October) there are regular cruises on the Odra River from Głogów to Bytom Odrzański.
