Křižovnický ostrov, River island under Charles Bridge, Old Town, Czech Republic
The small island starts beneath a pillar supporting the Old Town Bridge Tower and extends along the right bank of Vltava River.
The island contains a preserved pillar from the 12th-century Judith Bridge, incorporated into the Knights of the Cross Monastery building structure.
The water wall along the island includes a carved head sculpture called Bradáč, which served as a water level indicator for centuries.
Several arched bridges connect the southern part to the riverbank, while a hidden dock within the tunnels serves tourist boats operated by Pražské Benátky.
The island decreased in size during the 19th-century modifications of Křižovnické Square, with its remaining area covered in natural vegetation.
