The eastern front of the fortress is considerably deformed in spite of the fact that it has several magnificent historical
buildings, i.e. the Old Lwowska and the New Lwowska Gates, reconstructed monumental Bastion VII and an attractive vantage point on the face of Bastion I marked by an embankment. Unfortunately, the eastern front is cut by two major roads and a railway track. There are also private buildings on its foreground (one of them is a remodelled Russian garrison building dating back to the time after fortress liquidation).
