Bridge tower, So King Charles the 4th built this because they had a bridge that when the 'wild water' would flood it would take out the bridge so Charlie decided instead of repairing the old one he would tear it down and rebuild a new one. He asked his astronomers for advice on making the bridge last. They told him to start building it on The 9th of July 1357 at 5:31 am and if he did, it would survive through the years and someday there would be more foreigners than residents....it has since survived hundreds of disasters and there are more tourist than Czech citizens.

Me on the bridge!

The wind is making some wonderful things happen to my hair.

Ice breaker for when the river would freeze however the dam that was built in the country up river made it so the river won't ever freeze in this spot again.

This is Saint John Nepomuk who was the man who the Queen told her secrets to in confession. The King wanted to know her secrets but St John refused. After 3 times of asking the King threw him into the river killing him. His body was found a month later because of the 5 stars on his head and it was discovered that while he was dead, his tough was still alive and that was taken as a sign that he had kept his secret. and if you touch his statue with a secret wish he will take it straight to God for you. I touched it.

The view from the End of the bridge.

A Man made is amazing clock way before the technology was ever thought of, well the royals he made it for, didn't want him to ever build another one of anyone else. So the blinded him. He was so mad he found a young boy who broke into the clock and broke it so it wouldn't work anymore. It took centuries to get it working again.

Amadeus!!! This is the theater Mozart played in!!

People of Prague LOVE him. if he had stayed here he would have died a rich man.

He was berried in a mass grave in Vienna. But when people of Prague found out about his death they held a funeral for him and over 3,000 people showed up to pay him respect.
