Cihelná brána, Empire-style gate in Vyšehrad, Czech Republic
The Cihelná Gate features three passages: a central driveway and two pedestrian walkways, flanked by guard rooms within the fortification walls.
The gate was constructed in 1841 under the initiative of Prague governor Karel Chotek to facilitate access through the new Tábor road at Vyšehrad.
The gate serves as an entrance point to the Vyšehrad fortification complex, where visitors can explore underground casemates and historical structures.
Tickets for casemate tours are available at the gate's ticket office, with daily operating hours from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
The gate's construction required engineering solutions to manage the steep terrain, resulting in an S-shaped access road through the fortification.
