It separates the Old Town from the New Town. The Powder Tower is one of the original 13 city gates in Old Town. Construction began in 1475. The tower was intended to be an attractive entrance into the city, instead of a defensive tower. The foundation stone was placed by Vladislav II. The city council gave Vladislav II the tower as a coronation gift. While it was being built, it was called the New Tower. The gate was used to store gunpowder in the 17th century, hence the name. The gate suffered considerable damage during the Battle of Prague. The sculptures on the tower were replaced in 1876.
