The landmark and symbol of Pardubice is the Green Gate, built after 1507, as a remnant of the city's fortifications. It is a Renaissance gate with a façade decorated by a relief designed by Mikoláš Aleš, which depicts the Lords of Pardubice. Behind the gate is a 60 metres high tower that serves as an lookout tower. In its interior there is also an exposition with the history and legends of the city.

I didn’t go up to the top of the tower but the gate seems to be in between the old town square & new town with all the shopping

Pretty nice sight. I enjoyed the displays on the way to top of the tower. The lady at the cash was kind. Looking forward to visit the tower again and visit the gallery part. Entry fee is very low, just would appreciate possibility to pay by card. Maybe next time.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
