Černá věž, Renaissance tower in Klatovy, Czech Republic.

The Black Tower rises 81 meters above Klatovy, featuring a stone construction that demonstrates the architectural skills of 16th-century builders.

Completed in 1530, this defensive structure transformed from a military watchtower into a bell tower for the local community during peaceful times.

The Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic preserves this national monument, which represents the Renaissance period architectural achievements in Central Europe.

Visitors need to climb 204 steps to reach the observation deck, which provides views across Klatovy and the surrounding Czech countryside.

The tower recorded different visitor numbers between 2019 and 2021, with 14,880 people climbing to the top in 2019 and 12,263 in 2021.
