Budějovice Gate, Renaissance city gate in Latrán, Czech Republic.

The Budějovice Gate features two distinct facades with a rectangular decoration, battlements, and a pointed tower at its highest section.

Built between 1598 and 1602 by architect Domenico Benedetto Cometta, this structure remains the only survivor among nine original city gates of Český Krumlov.

The inner facade displays a red color scheme with a sundial and Renaissance decorative elements, while the outer side presents fortification features.

The gate functions as the main northern entrance to Latrán Street, providing access to the medieval center of Český Krumlov for pedestrians.

This gate combines defensive architecture with Renaissance ornamentation, featuring different designs on its inner and outer sides.
