Powder Tower (Prašná brána)

Highlight • Monument

Powder Tower (Prašná brána)
One of the most striking sights of late-Gothic Prague, dating from 1475, is a monumental gateway to the Old Town through which the coronation processions of Czech kings entered the city. The Powder Tower, which once served as a storehouse for gunpowder, still marks the coronation or royal route to Prague Castle.
The observation walkway is 44 meters high.

Charles Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Construction of the Charles Bridge (Karlův most) began in 1357, after its predecessor, the Judith Bridge, built around 1160, was destroyed in a flood in 1342. Its original name was simply "Stone Bridge" (Kamenný most) or "Prague Bridge" (Pražský most).
It has only been called Charles Bridge since 1870. It stands on 16 pillars and is 516 meters long. Above the first pillar on the Old Town side rises a gate tower, considered one of the most beautiful Gothic towers in existence. The other 15 pillars are decorated with sculptures on each side. But this wasn't the case from the beginning:
the sculptures were only added after 1700.
At the bridgehead on the Lesser Town side, there are two towers, the smaller of which is said to have originated from the Judith Bridge. The larger tower houses a tourist information office, and like the Old Town Bridge Tower, it can also be climbed.
Like the Old Town Bridge Tower, it is open daily.
Both towers are open daily from 10 a.m., until 7 p.m. in winter and until 10 p.m. in summer. Admission is 75 CZK each.
The Charles Bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge and one of the most popular tourist destinations. Among the almost constant stream of visitors, there are
occasionally souvenir vendors. Very often, these are painters who market their artistic creations here. And it is probably also one of the places where one can expect an increased incidence of
unwanted property transfers.

Jan Hus Memorial

Highlight • Monument

Jan Hus is a Czech national hero and unfortunately a somewhat forgotten forerunner of Luther. Already at the beginning of the 15th century, making similar demands for the reform of the church, he was burned at the stake at the Council in Constanz, despite the assurance of safe conduct, which triggered years of revolts (Husites)
