<p>Prague, Czech Republic (Czechia)<br />
<br />
&quot;Charles Bridge is a medieval stone arch bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the early 15th century.<br />
<br />
As the only means of crossing the river Vltava until 1841, Charles Bridge was the most important connection between Prague Castle and the city's Old Town and adjacent areas. This land connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. The bridge is located on the historic coronation route of the Bohemian kings.<br />
<br />
The bridge is 1,693 feet long and nearly 33 feet wide. Following the example of the Stone Bridge in Regensburg, Germany, it was built as a bow bridge with 16 arches shielded by ice guards. It is protected by three bridge towers, two on the Lesser Town or west side (including the Malá Strana Bridge Tower and one on the Old Town side, the Old Town Bridge Tower. The bridge is decorated by a continuous alley of 30 statues, most of them baroque-style, originally erected around 1700, but now all have been replaced by replicas.&quot;<br />
<br />
The dark building toward the end of the bridge is the Old Town Gate which is on the east side of the river.</p>

<br />
Vltava, also known by its German name Die Moldau, was composed in 1874 by the Czech composer Bedřich Smetana. In this piece, Smetana uses tone painting to evoke the sounds of one of Bohemia's great rivers. The piece contains Smetana's most famous tune. The composition describes the course of the Vltava, starting from the two small springs then flowing toward Prague, past the Vyšehrad, and then majestically vanishing into the distance.</p>
