RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Friday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
When I walked around Old Town, I took a ton of pictures, basically anything that caught my attention. But now, before I post one, I do my best to identify and learn about the subject of each photo. This is Powder Tower, a name earned from being a storage facility for gun powder in the 17th Century. This tower was one of the original 13 gates of Old Town built in the 15th Century!
Wow, I didnt even know the origin of the name! Thanks Matt :)
You're welcome. It's fun to actually learn about these places!
Absolutely fabulous Matt!!
Thank you! And again, it's all thanks to geotagging on the iPhone camera. It tagged this as Municipal House which eventually led me to Powder Tower. Such a magnificent history!
