TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the construction circumstances of the fortification system of Kassa (Kosice) and its last remnants were removed in 1803, while mapping, surveying, wall investigation of remnants of the compiete system of fortifications did not yet take place.
Abstract: Construction circumstances of the fortification system of Kassa (Kosice) are rather blurred by now. City wails were continuously extended from the late 13th century to the early 18th century, while after 1713 they were continuously demolished. Mid-18th century, the city had two outer walls, an outer ditch, as well as some detached earthworks. In August 1671, construction of a citadel in front of the south part of the city [1] began only to be torn down already in 1713, and its last remnants were removed in 1803 [2]. Mapping, surveying, wall investigation of remnants of the compiete system of fortifications did not yet take place. Fortifications could be rela tively exactly located according to remnants, old plans, archival data. Most wall parts subsisted in the S-SW part of the city, namely here huts built on the city walls still subsist, in the Varkapu street (Vratna) and in the Harang street (Zvonarska). Fazekas street (Hrnciarska) was reconstructed in the '80s, however, without excavating the city walls. Unfortunately, reconstruction going on in Varsanc street (Hradbova) is technically wrong, architecturally wrong, and even disturbing for the later city development. In the course of the reconstruction, even traces of the battlement were demolished.

It was seen that the structural system of the outer wall which supports the parapet walk and the battlement had been altered during the Late Byzantine era. It was also affirmed that the inner and the outer terrace had been used as a burial ground and ceramic pipes for the water supply system of the moat and stone culverts for the disposal of the ground water of the inner terrace were found.
