In the past it was used to store gunpowder, hence its name. Today you can visit its interior and enjoy an exhibition on the history of Prague.
A good way to continue delving into the history of the city is to visit the Prague Castle. It is one of the largest in the world and is surrounded by buildings of great artistic value, among others is the Cathedral of St. Vitus.
Behind it hides another architectural jewel of Prague, the Clementinum complex.

For lovers of modern art, Prague has the Kampa Museum, located on the island of the same name. This former mill-turned-museum exhibits works by Czech and international artists, such as Mondrian and Andy Warhol.
Prague is characterized by food influenced by other European cities. But this does not detract from the fact that they are delicious and have a special touch, such as their particular use of spices. So, when visiting the city, you can not miss the tasting of these dishes.
A typical Czech dish is the escalope, which is usually made of pork. But whatever meat is used, it is breaded and fried to be served with a salad.
Soups are also very common dishes in this city. There is a wide variety of soups, with ceská bramborová being the most famous. This one has carrots, potatoes and mushrooms. But there is also the cabbage-based zelnacka soup.
And as side dishes, in Prague they usually eat a cheese called smazeny syr, accompanied by beer. Or a type of bread known as bramborák, made from flour and potatoes.
