NoahandMominPrague, part 4: The Charles Bridge

Hey everyone,

So, one of the major attractions of Prague, after the Old Town Square, is the Charles bridge.  It's this gorgeous bridge across the river, lined on both sides with incredible statues:

Obviously, most of them are religious imagery.  Still, the craftsmanship is fantastic:



On the other side of the bridge is the newer part of town, at least compared to Old Town (erm when I put it into black and white that statement seems rather obvious, doesn't it?  Well, moving on).  I took a picture of the banners--no idea what they mean but, like statues, you can never have too many banners

Incidentally, while we're on the subject of statues, I think Prague might beat even Budapest in statues per square meter.  Check it:
 Mom and I had an informal competition for most statues in a single pictures . . . this was, I believe the winning entry:


Anyways, not a lot to write about, just some gorgeous pictures I wanted to make sure to post.  See you later

So, if the really old part of town is "Old Town" and the merely pretty old part of twon is New Town (?), what do they call the modern sections (ie those that date from the 1800's?
