A Powder Tower (or Gate) is a historic defensive tower, most famously the Gothic Powder Tower (Prašná brána) in Prague, a medieval city gate marking the start of the Royal Route for coronation processions, once used for gunpowder storage, and now a popular tourist attraction with city views. While Prague's is the most prominent, similar towers exist across Europe and beyond, serving various defensive, storage, or ceremonial functions.
