Písecká brána — Restaurant in Prague

Very interesting place, just imagine having a coffe or quiet place to read in such a generous historical space where were together one of the most important trading road and fortification gate of Prague Castle area unobtrusived by the mases of turism (more localcrowed)! This is the place! Take a brief ideal during a hot sunny urban summers due to the natural stable temperature. During the year you can find out an impressive but classical cultural programme such as jazz or gaff or senior-focused evnts which you...

Moc příjemné posezení v klidném prostoru Písecké brány (nazývané také Bruská či Karlova), která bývala součástí Mariánských hradeb, bývalého barokního opevnění Prahy, v ulici K Brusce, nedaleko od stanice metra Hradčanská. Ze sedmi bran se dodnes dochovaly pouze tři: Táborská a Leopoldova na Vyšehradě a Písecká na Hradčanech. Své jméno brána získala od dnes již neexistujícího předměstí, zvaného Písek. Brána leží mezi dosud zachovalými bastiony XVI. (sv. Jiří) a XVII. (sv. Ludmily). Ty jsou jasně patrné pod stejnojmennými ulicemi v okolí brány. Směrem odtud se zachovaly ještě bastiony na Letné.

Very pleasant sitting in the quiet Písecká Gate, which was part of Mariánské hradby, the former baroque fortification of Prague, in the street K Brusce, near Hradčanská metro station. Of the seven gates, only three are preserved: Táborská and Leopoldova in Vyšehrad and Písecká on Hradčany area. Its name has been taken from the now-nonexistent suburb, called Písek. The gate lies between the preserved bastions of XVI (St. George) and XVII. (St. Ludmila). These are clearly evident under the same street names...

Totally outstanding place with super staff, but at least as importantly a spot with incredible significance, as it is former city gate. Nowadays "Písek Gate" is the only preserved gate of the city proper and one of four remaining of the whole fortification system (Tábor, Leopold and Chotek (Brick) gates are part of Vyšehrad Fortress)....
