Description

Fine large format view of Prague, featuring the famous Charles Bridge in the foreground.

The Charles Bridge is a famous historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic.

Construction on the Charles Bridge began in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. The bridge replaced the old Judith Bridge built 1158-1172 that had been badly damaged by a flood in 1342. This new bridge was originally called the Stone Bridge (Kamenný most) or the Prague Bridge (Pražský most) but has been the "Charles Bridge" since 1870.

As the only means of crossing the river Vltava (Moldau or Mulden, as noted in this image) until 1841, the Charles Bridge was the most important connection between Prague Castle and the city's Old Town and adjacent areas. This connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe.
