The Malá Strana Bridge Towers are located at the Malá Strana end of Charles Bridge in #Prague. They consist of two unequal towers linked by a 15th-century arched gate: the smaller Judith's Tower (romanesque core, early 12th century) originally belonged to the older Judith Bridge (destroyed in 1342). It received its current renaissance look in 1591. The taller late gothic tower (44 meter) was built after 1464 under King George of Poděbrady, replacing an earlier romanesque structure.
