Táborská brána, Gate at Vyšehrad fortress, Czech Republic.

Táborská Gate is a late Renaissance gate in the southeastern forward fortification of Vyšehrad in Prague. Its main facade, set into the curtain wall, has a portal of large dressed stone blocks with a semicircular entrance; the upper storey is framed by cornices and divided by four Tuscan columns, with two loopholes of different sizes between the columns on each side. A recessed field in the centre of the upper storey was probably intended for a coat of arms, which is absent. Above the upper cornice is an attic with suggested crenellation; the inner side is simpler, with a stone portal, two windows on the upper floor and a roof above the band cornice.

Táborská brána was probably built around 1640 in connection with the construction of the first corner wall of Vyšehrad's forward fortification. The sources do not rule out a considerably later date, possibly the 1620s. In 1931 a pedestrian passage was cut through the rampart to the left of the gate's front facade.

The gate's name comes from the road toward Tábor in southern Bohemia, the direction from which travellers reached Vyšehrad. Its outer face is set into the curtain wall, with a semicircular portal of large dressed stone blocks and an upper storey framed by cornices and four Tuscan columns. Between the columns are two loopholes of different sizes on each side, and a recessed panel in the centre probably once held a coat of arms, now missing.

The gate opens from the southeast, from Nusle and Pankrác, where V pevnosti street meets Na Pankráci. The main facade faces this approach, set into the curtain wall. Since 1931 a separate pedestrian passage has been cut through the rampart just left of the front, giving a second way in.

The gate's upper storey has a recessed central panel, most likely intended for a coat of arms that was never installed. The four Tuscan columns between the loopholes frame this empty field, and the attic above the cornice carries suggested battlements rather than real ones.
