"Újezdská brána je pražská zanikla stavba. Brána mela tri pruchody. Byla vystavená v roce 1862 v novogotickém stylu. Stávala na konci Hladové zdi, kde nahradila kapacitne nevyhovující puvodne renesancní a v 17. století barokne upravenou Kartouzskou bránu. Po 30. letech služby, kdy opevnení vcetne této brány ztratilo na významu byla zborena. Cetné zbytky puvodního opevnení a bran se dochovaly vetšinou v suterénech jednotlivých domu."
