Cloak Bridge, Stone skyway in Plešivec, Czech Republic.
The Cloak Bridge spans 30 meters in length and rises 40 meters above a deep gorge, connecting four main courtyards of Český Krumlov Castle.
Originally constructed from wood in the 15th century, the current stone structure was completed in 1767 following designs based on medieval fortification principles.
The bridge features sculptures of four Christian saints: John of Nepomuk, Felix of Cantalicia, Wenceslaus, and Anthony of Padua along its structure.
The bridge contains three levels: a public passage at the bottom, a middle gallery connecting the Baroque theater to the Masquerade hall, and an upper gallery.
The supporting pillars of the bridge incorporated a waste disposal system from the royal box toilets, utilizing architectural innovation for practical purposes.
