Located in the Old Town of Prague, the tower is one of the landmarks of Prague with its black Gothic minaret as high as 65 meters. The site of the tower was once one of the 13 earlier gates in Prague's Old Town. The tower was rebuilt on the site of the gate in the 15th century, and it is still the starting point of the coronation road to the castle. From a distance, the tower is completely dark, but when you walk in, you will find that the building is decorated with exquisite reliefs, most of which are statues of Bohemian monarchs and Czech guardian saints. The design was inspired by the Charles Bridge built by Peter Parler. The tower was once used for the coronation of Bohemian kings. In addition, climb the spiral staircase with 186 steps to the observation deck with a height of 44 meters. Here, you have a panoramic view of the old town of Prague - Charles Bridge, Vltava River, St. Vitus Cathedral... … may wish to stop here for a while and enjoy the charming scenery of the city of a thousand towers.
