Prasna Brana (Powder Tower)

U Prašné brány 1078/1, 110 00 Praha-Old Town, Czech Republic

420-725-847-875

As the Eastern boundary of the medieval city, this Gothic tower was part of the town’s defense system and was used to store gunpowder. The royal coronation route, which makes for a good city walk, starts here and ends at the castle.
