  CharlesBridge_35.JPG - The Lesser Town Bridge Tower (Malostranská mostecká věž in Czech) is situated at the western end of the Charles Bridge; it forms the ancient gate to the Lesser Town (Malá Strana). It is the youngest of all three Prague bridge towers.Unlike in the Old Town on the other bank of Vltava river, where there is a passage to the Chares Bridge through a single tower, here in the Lesser Town there are in fact two towers with a gate between them. For tourists arriving from the Old Town, this is the main pedestrian entrance to the Lesser Town, a lovely quarter of Prague with restaurants, bars and boutique shops. The street connecting there to the Charles Bridge is called Mostecká (Bridge Street).
