Having spanned both banks of the Vltava River since 1357, Charles Bridge has become an inseparable part of Prague’s breathtaking panorama. Its foundation stone was laid by Emperor Charles IV himself, and despite facing numerous challenges over the centuries, the bridge still stands today. Over time, it has been adorned with numerous sculptures. With the exception of the bronze statue of St. John of Nepomuk, all 29 remaining statues and sculptural groups of significant saints are made of stone. Thanks to them, Prague’s oldest surviving stone bridge is a true masterpiece, unparalleled anywhere in the world – a must-see sight for any visitor to the city.
