Karluv most
Charles' bridge
Staromestska mostecka vez Karlova mostu. Karel IV. ji zalozil jako
svuj vitezny oblouk r. 1357, 9. cervence (tj. 9. den, 7. mesic) v 5 hodin
31 minut na miste, odkud je o letnim slunovratu videt zapad Slunce nad
hrobem slunovratoveho svetce sv. Vita. Socharska vyzdoba veze
znazornuje volbou zobrazenych postav i ciselnou symbolikou stredoveky
kosmologicky obraz sveta: v nejvyssi casti sfera hvezd, pod ni sfera
Slunce, dale Mesice a nejnize pozemsky svet.
