Prague Architecture
Although there are many architectural styles represented
in Prague, it hardly looks disturbing or chaotic. In spite of
seeing so many different styles in the city, we feel that
every style fits together gloriously and harmoniously.
There is a mysterious glamour which is unbelievably
charming to all visitors.
Let the journey across twelve centuries of Prague’s
architecture begin.
To begin with:
Gothic Charles Bridge
Legend says that the builders added eggs to the
foundations to make it stronger. The construction
of the Gothic bridge started in 1357; it is said
that the emperor’s astronomers commenced at
the lucky time of 5:31 on the 9th
of July in 1357
(a sequence of odd ascending and descending numbers).
The bridge was completed in the 15th
century.
