The pair of towers forms the entrance from the Lesser Town to Charles Bridge. The smaller tower, also known as the Judith Tower, is a Romanesque building and dates from the beginning of the 12th century. It was part of the medieval fortification of the Lesser Town. The tower is not only older than the Charles Bridge, but was probably also built before its predecessor, the Judith Bridge.
The taller bridge tower was built after 1464 to replace an older Romanesque tower. Its shape echoes the design concept of Parler's Old Town Bridge Tower on the opposite side of the bridge.
Charles Bridge (Karlův most in Czech) is a bridge built over the Vltava River in the 14th century. It connects Prague's Old Town on the right bank with the Lesser Town on the left. It is the oldest preserved bridge over the Vltava and one of the oldest stone bridges in Europe. The bridge was given its current name after Emperor Charles IV in 1870 and is considered a symbol of the city.
