660th anniversary of Charles Bridge

Yes, that’s right. Six hundred sixty years ago the construction of the most beautiful bridge ever began. The most beautiful in my humble opinion, of course.

Even Google Doodle celebrates this:

And so we should. Have a look that takes your breath away:

2013 flood:

And a bit of history:

1890 flood:

1872 flood:

And 360° aerial panorama at sunrise as a bonus.

So what happened in your city seven centuries ago? :)
