Charles Bridge in Prague

• Construcción terminada: 1357
• Type: Bridge
• Maximum Width: 1,706 feet / 520 meters

• For centuries, the bridge's only decoration was a wooden cross erected in the 1500's. A wooden cross still stands on the same location, but a golden figure of Christ was added in 1629. The crucifix is also adorned with gold Hebrew letters spelling out "Holy, Holy, Holy Lord." This was a punishment for the Jew forced to pay for it after being accused of blasphemy.
