Prague Charles Bridge #16

Mala Strana小城區:著名景點的Charles Bridge相傳是查理六世懷疑皇后與人私通,六世逼迫聽皇后告解的神父約翰波穆克說出她的秘密,但神父不肯,最後被查理六世拔掉舌頭,丟下大橋殉職。但神父身體碰到水便出現5顆星升天,因此他被封為5星橋神,而這座橋也被稱為查理大橋。

興建於14世紀的,連接新舊兩城,橋上的雕像共有30個,左右各15個。

走在中歐最長的橋上感受歷史風華 (長505公尺,寬10公尺)






The statue of John of Nepomuk. On 20 March 1393 he was thrown into the river Vltava from the Charles Bridge at the behest of Wenceslaus, King of the Romans and King of Bohemia.
據說觸摸聖像右下角的浮雕會帶來好運,這塊區域已被遊客換得晶亮。
