Originally called Kamenný most or Stone Bridge, Charles Bridge was built over a period of several years between 1357 and 1402. Spanning the Vltava, the bridge connects the Prague Castle and Mala Strana or Little Quarter to Stare Mesto or Old Town Prague. The bridge, with its three towers and 16 arches, is 520 meters (1706 feet) long and is decorated with Baroque statues of saints and holy figures at regular intervals that date back to the 1700s. At dawn and dusk, the bridge is awash in a warm glow which creates a magical picture; one can almost imagine that time stands still in these moments.
