"Near Charles Bridge, in the historic Crusaders' hospital and Church of the Holy Spirit, lies a museum dedicated to the second oldest stone bridge in the Czech Republic. This museum offers a journey through time, exploring the rich history of Charles Bridge and its unique architectural structure. The bridge, a vital connector across the Vltava River, has long served as a passage between Prague's Old Town and the Lesser Quarter. Beyond its practical function, it played a ceremonial role, with Czech kings riding across it during their coronation processions along the Royal Route. The museum provides an in-depth look at this one-of-a-kind bridge and its significance in Czech history."
