Medieval history

Charles Bridge is a medieval stone arch bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague. It's a cult landmark of the city.

Making waves

If we zoom into the lower-half of the painting, we can see the wavy surface of the Vltava River. It's the longest river in Czechia, commonly referred to as the 'Czech National River'.

Riverside city

Looking over Charles Bridge you can see Prague's Old Town Square, dominated by church spires, and the Kampa embankment that runs along the Vltava River.

Spotlight on the bridge

In the center of the artwork we can see Prague's oldest bridge. It was built to replace the previous one, called Judith Bridge, that was destroyed in floods back then in 1342.

Lush greenery

To one side of the bridge, you can find a wall of plants that has flourished on the riverbank.
