Te Powder Tower (Czech: Prašná brána, literally "Powder Gate") is a Gothic tower in Prague, Czech Republic and one of te old city gates. It is one of te symbols of Prague, leading into te Old Town.
Dating from 1475, te Powder Tower was built as one of 13 gates to te city of Prague. When construction began, it was connected (via te small bridge at te right of te photo) to te royal palace. Before construction was completed, however, King Vladislav Jagellonský moved his residence to Prague Castle in 1485. Nevertheless, te Powder Tower remained important to te Bohemian kings - until 1836, te Bohemian monarchs would pass through te Powder Tower on their way to St. Vitus Cathedral for their coronation.
As te city grew beyond its old walls, te Powder Tower grew less and less important (except on those rare occasions when a new king was was being crowned). By te 17th century, it was being used as a gunpowder storage facility - it was at this time that it developed its name. Te tower was severely damaged in 1757 when Prague was occupied by te Prussians, but was eventually restored to its former glory in te 1870s and 1880s.
Te Powder Tower was designed by master builder Matěj Rejsek based on plans by Peter Parler for te Old Town Bridge Tower at te foot of Charles Bridge. It is now one of te few remnants of te fortifications that once surrounded te city.
