City walls of Prachatice, Medieval fortification in Prachatice, Czech Republic
The stone defensive walls encircle the historic center of Prachatice, featuring multiple towers and gates that form a complete protective ring.
The construction of these fortifications began in the 13th century when Prachatice gained importance as a vital point along the salt trade route.
The walls represent medieval military engineering and demonstrate the architectural techniques used to protect towns during the Middle Ages in Central Europe.
Visitors can access different sections of the walls throughout the day and find information panels explaining the structure's defensive features.
The walls played a central role in securing Prachatice's monopoly on salt trade between Bavaria and Bohemia during the medieval period.
