The Kaliska Gate was located at the western entrance to the city, positioned on the same axis as the Kraków Gate, and underwent several construction phases from the 14th to early 17th centuries. Initially built as a wall with gates flanked by a tower, it was later expanded with a rectangular gatehouse and eventually extended by 24 meters over a moat, likely functioning as a barbican. The gate and tower were demolished based on the city's 1823 regulatory plan or possibly earlier during Prussian rule (1793-1807), but archaeological work in 2000-2001 uncovered the foundations and erected a cross on the reconstructed tower base.

Built in 1842 in the late Classical style according to designs by Henryk Marconi, it was constructed adjacent to the Kraków Gate, which functions as the town hall tower. The current building replaced an earlier Gothic town hall that was demolished in the early 19th century.

This medieval tower, known as "Męczarnia" (Torture Chamber), was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries as part of Wieluń's defensive walls, serving as the city prison and executioner's workshop. The tower played a defensive role during the late 16th century when Habsburg forces approached the city, and it survived centuries of decay before being comprehensively restored in the second decade of the 21st century with EU funding. Today it houses two permanent exhibitions: "In the Chamber of the Wieluń Executioner" showcasing the history and tools of local executioners, and "History of Weaponry in Medieval and Old Polish Times" focusing on the military history of Wieluń's residents.

The defensive walls of Wieluń stretched approximately 1,200-1,300 meters and enclosed the old town area of 12 hectares, built in an irregular oval shape from local sandstone with brick crenellations. The walls stood 6-6.5 meters high and originally featured no towers, only two gates: the Kalisz Gate and the Krakow Gate. Construction began after a city fire in 1335, gradually replacing earlier wooden and earthen fortifications.
