According toPrague.net, there are over three hundred bridges in the city.
Bridges over Vltava River in Prague.
But it wasnt known as Charles Bridge until 1841.
It was originally called the Stone Bridge or the Prague Bridge.
The bridge replaced the old Judith Bridge built 11581172 that had been badly damaged by a flood in 1342.
For more than 450 years, until 1841, it was the only bridge connecting both banks of Vltava.
Today the bridge has its own museum.
