A good place to learn about the history and torturing of people in Kosice back in the day. Exhibitions are also in English too. Worth a visit after you have visited the prison.

Veľmi pekný areál v centre. Počas staromestských pivných slávností dobre využitý. Dúfam, že do budúcna sa tam plánuje viac akcií.

Objekt Katovej bašty v Košiciach, barbakan Maľovanej brány vybudovali v druhej polovici 15. storočia. Začiatkom 16. storočia bol prestavaný, zosilnený streleckými komorami a hlinenými násypmi. Celkom sa zachovalo 8 streleckých komôr, ktoré slúžili na paľbu z hákovníc. Koncom 18. storočia stratila Katova bašta svoj obranný charakter. V roku 1839 areál Katovej bašty odkúpila rehoľa premonštrátov a mestu ho vrátila až v roku 1911. V roku 1935 bol areál upravený pre účely Východoslovenského múzea v Košiciach. V rokoch 1940 – 1943 sa uskutočnila stavba repliky Rákocziho exilového domu tzv. Rodošto, ktorá úplne zmenila charakter Katovej bašty. V roku 2012 bolo prízemie objektu s unikátnym systémom streleckých komôr pamiatkovo upravené v rámci projektov Košice Európske hlavné mesto kultúry 2013. V streleckých komorách je dnes zriadená expozícia Východoslovenského múzea v Košiciach, ktorá podáva vývoj palných zbraní od ich prvopočiatkov po 18. storočie. Návštevník tu nájde originály a kópie streleckých mažiarov, ručnice, hákovnice, tarasnicu, kanón na delovej lafete s príslušenstvom, kamenné ale i kovové...
