Písek Gate, Baroque city gate in Hradčany, Prague, Czech Republic
The stone gateway features a semi-circular vehicle passage with detailed head motifs and smaller pedestrian entrances on both sides.
Built in 1721 as part of Prague's fortification system, the Písek Gate controlled northbound traffic and stood between Saint George and Saint Ludmila bastions.
The gate exhibits different architectural styles on each side, with white and blue tones facing Prague Castle and stone carvings on the opposite facade.
Located at K Brusce 5/208, the structure contains a gallery space, wedding venue, and cafe with brick-vaulted ceilings under one roof.
Natural vegetation grows on the gate's roof and walls, making it the last remaining entrance of three original city gates on Prague's left bank.
