Břilická brána, Medieval gate in Třeboň, Czech Republic.
Description
The Břilická gate is a stone structure within Třeboň's fortification walls, displaying Renaissance architectural details with rendered surfaces and solid masonry. It serves as a passage connecting the town interior with the surrounding landscape and has retained its form through the centuries.

The gate was built in the 1520s when Třeboň reinforced its defenses under Rosenberg family rule. This period marked an era of intense urban development aimed at strengthening the town's security.
