The Stone heart of Prague – the famous bridge which has been like a magnet for figural sculptors and poets alike. We walk across the bridge aware of the famed many who have done so before us since the 14th century, in the sure hope that this architectural gem of Charles IV will last for times to come. Yet this beautiful monument did not start out as anything more than a vital connection of two riverbanks beneath Prague Castle. The residential town of the Czech Kings and its inhabitants needed to cross the River with dry feet. The requirement was clear, but its solution far from simple.
