This marked the entrance into Old Town Prague for the Bohemian kings of old. You can pay to climb to the top for panoramic views , but the view looking up is still impressive.

Back in the day, it was Prague's city limit and where the main road to Vienna started. Also this is the way where empress Maria Theresa came back home after being crowned.

Dating from 1475, the Powder Tower was built as one of 13 gates to the city . By the 17th century, it was being used as a gunpowder storage facility - it was at this time that it developed its name.

Make sure you don't leave Prague without having seen the panorama from this tower . Buy the tickets online and dont waste time waiting for the queue

Nice view - but this can't equalize the lack of any historical background information. Feels quite empty and uninspired.

Seems dirty at rainy day

Wirklich sehr schön . Bei dem mittelalterlichen Stadttor in Prag handelt es sich nicht um das einzige seiner Art. Die Stadt ist ohnehin schon bekannt für ihre außergewöhnlich gut erhaltene Altstadt.

Con esta finalizamos el viaje, la torre de la ciudad vieja tiene uno de los mejores miradores de Praga, junto a ella tiendas de souvenirs y monumentos históricos, un buen lugar para descansar .

Ângelo Miguel Geraldo

Esta famosa porta de entrada, com o seu telhado esculpido, foi construída como o ponto de entrada cerimonial na Cidade Velha. Vale a pena subir ao topo pela vista que daí se aprecia.
