Pisecka brana / Pisecka Gate, Praha, CZ - Baroque Architecture on Waymarking.com

Písecká brána (též Bruská brána podle potoka Brusky) je bývalá soucást barokního fortifikacního systému Prahy známého jako Mariánské hradby. Byla postavena roku 1721 architektem Giovannim Battistou Alliprandim podle návrhu Františka Vogota. V roce 1741 se za válek o rakouské dedictví dostal do Prahy touto branou ceský vzdorokrál Karel Albrecht Bavorský, protože její obranu zajištovala slabá posádka a nevycvicení meštané a studenti.

Dnes je Písecká brána jednou ze ctyr dochovaných bran novovekého opevnení Prahy. Zbylé tri – brány Táborská, Leopoldova a Chotkova (Cihelná) – se nacházejí v areálu Vyšehradu.

The gate was situated between bastions of St George and St Ludmilla. It was built as one of latest parts of Baroque fortification in 1721 by architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi after design by František Vogot. The Marian Walls survived until turn of 20th century when only fractions including Písek Gate were left. Thanks to new road bypassing it, the gate was no longer considered an obstacle for growing traffic and remained standing.
