This beautiful tower, along with the Charles Bridge, was built by Emperor Charles IV according to designs by Peter Parley in the mid-14th century AD. Its gate resembles a symbolic triumphal arch, through which Czech kings passed in coronation processions. There is a viewing platform at the top of the tower, so visitors can enjoy a panoramic view. The Old Town Bridge Tower is one of the most beautiful Gothic buildings in the world, so do not miss this opportunity and visit it when you come to the city.
