Pokud se na prvni stage nevydate primo pres namesti, ale pujdete na zapad Belskou ulici, na jejim konci narazite na prvni pozustatky mestskeho opevneni.

Prazska neboli Svatovitska brana

Prvni zminka o teto brane se v mestskych pisemnostech objevuje na konci 15. stoleti. V te dobe uz zde zrejme stala kamenna brana a tehdy se ji rikalo Svatovitska. Zanikla v roce 1827 pri stavbe nove silnice - jiz nevyhovovala svou sirkou. Brana byla tehdy prodana v drazbe a nasledne zborena. Jeji existenci od te doby pripominaji pouze dva pylony s plastikami lvu pochazejicich az z 19. stoleti.

Brana uzavirala silnici vedouci z mesta dolu na Podolec a ke klasteru sv. Vita - odtud take jeji nazev. Brana byla dvojita - vnitrni brana stala na urovni dnesniho domu cp. 5, vnejsi brana byla predsunuta o neco niz. Mezi obema branami stalo jeste nekolik domu.

Nove Mesto sice v roce 1528, kdy dostalo stejna prava jako sousedni Stare Mesto, obdrzelo take pravo na vybudovani hradeb, k jejich skutecnemu postaveni vsak nikdy nedoslo. Pouze pri vyusteni hlavnich komunikaci byly zbudovany pevne uzavery, tzv. sranky. Byl to srank brezensky, kosmonosky a bradlecky.

Hradby Stareho Mesta

Proti Novemu Mestu zacinalo hrazeni u Klasterske brany, pokracovalo ke kostelu Panny Marie a odtud se obloukem stacelo do dnesni Zelezne ulice, kde byla dalsi brana. Pred hradbou byl vyhlouben prikop. Po stranach do udoli Klenice a Jizery zpevnovaly hradby kruhove basty.

Opevneni mesta bylo postaveno ve 14. stoleti a vstup zajisovaly tri (pozdeji ctyri) brany a ctyri fortny. Opevneni sestavalo z hradby s parkanem a v mistech prepazeni ostrozny bylo doplneno vnejsim prikopem, který se v jednom useku dochoval ve velice poskozene forme. Na konci ostrozny stoji hrad, k nemuz se pripojovala obvodova hradba. Belska brana na severozapade mela venkovni prihradek v linii parkanu. Svatojanska, nekdy i Novomestska, brana byla nejpouzivanejsim vstupem a vchazelo se do ni pres padaci most. Vedle ni mladsi brana tvorila se Svatojanskou jeden komplex. Zanikla zidovska brana nebyla zapojena do opevneni. Z fortny u klastera se dochoval zazdeny kamenny oblouk v byvale bratske skole cp. 73 Na Karmeli. Fortna u Templu slouzila jako pristup k rece a laznim. Z opevneni se nejlepe dochoval jihovychodni usek hradby, ktery navazuje prave na Prazskou branu.

Introduction

This easy city multi-cache will take you to the places where city walls of Mlada Boleslav have been built. There are only two stops on the way and you will be able to make it in 15 minutes. You can park your car at the above coordinates. If you will decide not to go to the first stage directly across the square but you will head west to the Belska street at the end you will see first remains of the city walls.

Prague or St. Vitus gate

First mention about this gate is in city documents from the end of the 15th century. In these times the gate was made of stone and locals called it Saint Vitus gate. The gate was destroyed in 1827 because it was too narrow for the new road to Prague. The gate was sold in public sale and demolished. From this time only two lions on two columns are reminding the gate. The lions were placed there in 19th century.

The gate was at the end of the road leading down to district called Podolec and to St. Vitus convent. The gate was double. Inside gate was at the level of house number 5, outside gate was placed few meters lower and there were few houses between the gates.

City walls of the Old City

City walls where built on the place of Klasterska brana then it continued to church of St. Maria and from this place to Zelezna street where was another gate. There was moat in front of the walls. On the sides to valleys of Jizera and Klenice wall was stabilized by two forts.

City walls where built in 14th century and entrance was facilitated by three (later four) gates and four portals. At the end of the promontory is the castle which was connected with the city walls. St. Johan’s gate was the most used entrance and there was the bascule-bridge in front of the gate. Next to this gate was another gate which has been creating one complex with St. Johan’s gate. The abolished Jewish gate was not part of the city walls. Portal near the Templ was used like an entrance to the river and to the baths. From whole city walls is in best condition south-east part which is connected to the Prague gate.
