Old Town Bridge Tower

Karlův most, Prague 1. (Open Map)
(75)

Description

This striking, late-14th-century tower, crafted by Peter Parler, is both a fortification and an archway symbolizing the entrance to the Old Town. Inside, there is a display chronicling the design and construction of both the bridge and the tower, which includes artifacts unearthed by archaeologists from the riverbed. Of course, the view from the top is incomparable and well worth the admission fee.
