Legion Bridge, Road-rail bridge in Old Town, Czech Republic
Legion Bridge stretches across the Vltava River connecting Prague 1 and Prague 5 districts through a stone and iron construction measuring several hundred meters.
Architects Antonín Balšánek and Jiří Soukup designed this transportation link, which opened on June 14, 1901, to improve connectivity between Old Town and Malá Strana.
The bridge structure represents early 20th-century Czech engineering practices and received recognition as a cultural monument for its architectural significance.
Modern travelers use this multi-purpose crossing for tram transportation, vehicle traffic, and walking paths, making it central to Prague's daily transportation network.
The bridge features distinct architectural elements that combine transportation infrastructure with decorative stonework, reflecting the engineering capabilities of its construction period.
