La puerta de los explosivos se construyó en el siglo XI, cuando la puerta formaba parte de las 13 entradas de la ciudad de Praga. Toda la ciudad estaba rodeada de murallas y las puertas contenían polvo explosivo para armar los cánones y combatir el enemigo. La puerta actual fue restaurada y modificada en el siglo XV por el rey Vladislav, para parecerse a la torre del puente más antiguo de la ciudad, el Puente Carlos. Al inicio, la torre se llamaba torre nueva, porque era la última torre construida, pero le cambiaron en nombre para el de Torre de los explosivos cuando se empezaron a almacenar a dentro. Ahora, es un museo, con una exposición sobre las torres de Praga. También se pueden subir las 186 gradas para llegar a los 44 metros de alto que tiene la torre, y admirar la vista sobre el casco antiguo y la ciudad vieja. La torre está bien integrada en un barrio que permanece bastante animado y muy comercial, con mucho paseo de gente. Lamentablemente, también hay mucho tráfico, y el barrio empieza a ser peatón después de esta puerta.
