❓ Did you know that Saint John of Nepomuk, the statue of whom is the most famous statue on Charles Bridge and has been replicated over 60,000 times around the world, did not actually live the life of a saint.

❓Or that Saint Wenceslaus, known from the carol "Good King Wenceslas," has three depictions on the bridge

❓But it's not just the saints that have fascinating stories about them. The Turk sculpture on the Prague Bridge, which guards Christian captives, is ironically the most popular statue for domestic visitors.

❓Find out why and understand the meaning behind the proverb "He stood there like a Turk on the (Prague) Bridge". 

Discover these fascinating facts and more in our smartphone-friendly guide.
