The city gates, once it separates the city from the outskirts and are part of the system of fortifications, called green. It is a high tower, on top of which is an observation deck, from which can be seen not only Pardubice, but also, for example, kunětice mountain castle, located a few kilometers from the city. Just a few meters from the Green Gate is the main area of ​​Pardubice, around which are concentrated all the major attractions.

The tower of the Green Gate was rebuilt in the XVI century from older buildings, dating back to 1330-1340 years. It is still considered the tallest building Pardubice.

Once the right of the green gate was a deep ditch, which had been thrown across the bridge. The moat was filled, and the bridge was removed, so now nothing reminds of those times. Gates are located right in the middle of the street, but did not seem to be superfluous, as ideally suited to the historical appearance of the city.
