This statue is one of many located on the Charles Bridge, which is the most famous bridge in Prague. It's a stone bridge that was constructed in the 14th century & is open to pedestrians only. We crossed it several times during our stay in Prague & it was always filled with throngs of people, vendors, musicians & street performers. About the statues: "The avenue of 30 mostly baroque statues and statuaries situated on the balustrade forms a unique connection of artistic styles with the underlying gothic bridge. Most sculptures were erected between 1683 and 1714. They depict various saints and patron saints venerated at that time. The most prominent Bohemian sculptors of the time took part in decorating the bridge, such as Matthias Braun, Jan Brokoff, and his sons Michael Joseph and Ferdinand Maxmilian. Beginning in 1965, all of the statues have been systematically replaced by replicas, and the originals have been exhibited in the lapidarium of the National Museum." This was one of the rare times on our trip when the sky was gloriously blue & filled with billowing clouds...
