 Karlův most (Charles Bridge)

Karlův most (Charles Bridge)

 Karlův most, The Charles Bridge, with the bridge tower in the back (right). It was built in the 14th century. It reminded me of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence because The Charles Bridge now has loads of vendors on it, though it wasn't built for that purpose.

According to wikipedia, it is the oldest operating astronomical clock. At the top, two doors are open revealing "The Walk of the Apostles." Unfortunately, the skeleton representing death--usually perched on the balcony in left of this picture--was under repair.
