thank-you-- I was trying to capture the length of it. Apparently it collapsed in late 1880's and this is a reconstruction.

Thank-you Jeff and WilliamFlynn-- there were Flynns in my hometown-- big basketball men, over 7ft tall. champs, too. Fortunately I didn't have to build this bridge, but the architect who designed it , Matthias of Arras, also designed St Vitus and Karlstejn and the famous bridge towers.The tower seen was model for vaulting of St Vitus. Unfortunately, almost nothing is known of this brilliant genius other than he brought French Gothic to Prague under Charles IV.
