Dear Steemit friends and followers,
Let me take this moment to promote another beautiful place of my homeland, the Czech Republic. While some of the places mentioned in my previous posts might have been new to you, I am sure many of you are already familiar with the one I am going to tell you more about today as it is one of most iconic, visited and photographed landmarks of Prague as well as the whole country.

Completed in 1402, the Charles Bridge (Karluv Most in the Czech language) is a huge, stone bridge spanning the Vltava River in the historic center of Prague. Decorated by a two rows of 30 statues and statuaries, the Charles Bridge is generally considered one of the most important civil Gothic-style structures in the world.

Similarly to most of other iconic features of Prague such as the Prague Castle, the Old Town Square or the Petrin Lookout Tower, the Charles Bridge is usually bursting at the seams with tourists in every season but if you come early in the morning, you can enjoy some privacy here and take some impressive photos of this breathtaking piece of medieval architecture.

Now you know why the Charles Bridge is one of the most popular subjects in photos submitted by your fellow Steemians in my daily Prague/Czech Republic Photo Challenge, don´t you? :)
