While there are several bridges that traverse the Vtlava River in central Prague, the Charles Bridge is most prominent. It's a pedestian bridge lined with statues and shrines that reflect the rich history of Prague. One shrine of note commemorates the death of a priest, St. John of Nepomuk, who was thrown to his death for refusing to reveal the queen's confusions to King Wenceslas IV. You all remember that from European History class, right? I've thrown in a photo of another statue on the bridge. Not sure who it's of but I thought it was pretty cool.
