Gunpowder tower in Prague old town, the black gothic spires up to 65 meters, is one of the landmarks of Prague. Gunpowder tower is located was one of the earliest 13 gates in Prague''s old town, in the 15th century when built on the ruins of the gate tower, it still is the starting point of the road to the coronation of the castle.

Power Tower is at the east side of the old Prague town. It looks just like a medieval gothic city gate, just like it was described.

I feel like this is actually supposed to be called the Powder Gate? Anywho - great 360 views of Prague!

Dating from 1475, the Powder Gate was built as one of 13 gates to the city of Prague.

Separates New Town and Old Town Prague. Very historic looking. Definitely check this out while in Prague!

Powder Tower (also known as Powder Gate) is a neat looking Gothic gate that separates New Town from Old Town. It dates back to the 11th century.

Пороховая башня. Когда-то служила для хранения пороха, а теперь служит своеобразным входом в старую часть города.

So called because it was used to store gunpowder, this city gate bears a striking similarity to the tower on Charles Bridge. Located next to Obecni Dum, if you are in the area it is worth a visit and there are plenty of shops and cafes nearby to not make it a wasted trip but there is little else to do than admire and take a picture.

到了布拉格老城，最先看到的应该就是火药塔了，算是比较标志性的景点，是我在布拉格老城的第一个景点。交通方式：布拉格老城区其实并不大，景点相对集中，所以住在老城区附近的我，基本是用步行到达各个景点的。通过火药塔往里走就是老城广场，天文钟等著名景点～捷克🇨🇿不认可中国驾照，所以无法在这里租车哦，必须要有国际驾照才可以～玩法：建议和老城区的景点放在一起玩，个人觉得没必要进火药塔内部看，登高也没什么意义，其实不怎么高…… 还不如去最美星巴克打卡看布拉格全景。所以拍个外观即可推荐理由：火药塔是哥特式建筑，黑黑的，仿佛被熏过一样…很有历史感。整个建筑65米，并不太高。火药塔所在地曾经是布拉格老城13座城门之一，后来在这个位置上建造了塔楼。曾经有术士在这边研究炼金术，后来被用于存放火药，所以被称为火药塔。目前是一个博物馆。火药塔外观虽然黑黑的，但其实有不少浮雕，典型哥特式建筑。火药塔上有瞭望台，可以登高看查理大桥，圣维特大教堂等等～

火药塔，是布拉格老城区一个重要的地标建筑，这座火药塔的外观，是典型的捷克建筑风格，有尖顶，现在看起来外观黑乎乎的，像被火药熏黑了一样，所以叫火药塔真的是非常贴切的，火药塔的位置横跨马路，人来车往从塔下经过，有一种穿越时空的感觉。
