About the Powder Tower, Prague
The Powder Tower, or Powder Gate, stands in Prague, Czech Republic, and is Gothic in style. It is one of the 13 original gates of the Old Town, and it marks the boundary with the New Town. Work started in 1475, and the tower was meant to give the city an impressive entrance rather than to serve as a defensive work. Its appearance drew on Peter Parler's work on the Charles Bridge.
Vladislav II placed the foundation stone, and the city council gave him the tower to mark his coronation. During construction it went by the name New Tower. Riots forced the king to relocate, and the building work stopped. He came back in 1485 to live at Prague Castle, and kings used the tower for coronation processions again only from 1836, when they passed through it on their way to St. Vitus Cathedral.
The name is misleading: the gate never stored gunpowder. It was badly damaged in the Battle of Prague, and in 1876, during a reconstruction led by Josef Mocker, the sculptures on it were replaced and the clock was taken down. The tower is listed as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
