    The Prašná brána is an imposing tower that can be climbed for an entrance fee (there is no elevator) and offers a good panoramic view of Prague's Old Town and beyond. The tower is beautifully illuminated at night.

      The Powder Tower in Prague (Czech: Prašná brána) is a 65-meter-high gate tower located on Republic Square in Prague. It was built in the 15th century as part of the fortifications of the former royal court. A decorative example of late Gothic architecture in Bohemia, it forms a monumental and historically significant gateway to Prague's Old Town. The tower received its name from the fact that gunpowder was stored inside until the end of the 17th century.
