Historic Bridges

Prague’s architectural evolution is captured in its bridges spanning the Vltava River.

The list also features the Libeň Bridge’s functionalist design and the contemporary Troja Bridge, a bowstring arch structure opened in 2014, showcasing the city's transition from medieval craftsmanship to modern engineering.
