Powder Tower of Prague

It is one of the most impressive Gothic monuments in Prague. Built in 1475, the Powder Tower is the monumental gateway to the Old Town that used to be the coronation processions of the kings of Bohemia. It owes its name to the fact that it served a long time as a deposit of gunpowder. It is still today the starting point of the Royal Way which crosses the Old City to go up to the Castle.
