The Romanesque tower, Juditina věž (Judith's Tower), was the gate to Juditin most (Judith's Bridge), which was destroyed by a flood in 1342 and replaced by Karlův most. The Gothic tower was built to accompany Karlův most. The towers were likely connected by the gate at the turn of the 14th century.
