Under Charles Bridge

Here’s a Venice-like view under Charles Bridge. This bridge crosses the Vltava river and is might old; construction was commissioned by Czech king and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV and began in 1357. This bridge has held up to the test of time, surviving many floods. Legend has that egg yolks were mixed in with the mortar to strengthen it. Probably more fiction than fact, but it makes for a good myth.
