Spanning the Vltava River, the 15th-century Charles Bridge (Karluv Most) connects Prague’s Old Town with the Lesser Town and Castle District. This magnificent Gothic structure boasts 16 stone arches and is flanked by two watchtowers. Along its length, 30 blackened baroque statues depict various saints, adding a touch of historical and religious significance. Today, visitors can stroll across the bridge, taking in the intricate stonework and the panoramic views of the city, while enjoying the lively atmosphere created by street artists and vendors.
