Saint Vitus, Bronze statue on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic.
The statue depicts Saint Vitus in Roman armor, standing above lions emerging from a cave-like base on the northern side of Charles Bridge.
Ferdinand Brokoff created this statue in 1714 as a donation from Matěj Vojtěch Macht, dean of the Vyšehrad chapter in Prague.
Saint Vitus stands as a representation of protection against snake bites and features traditional Roman military attire with a princely cap.
The statue remains in its original position on Charles Bridge, allowing visitors to examine the detailed sculptural work from multiple angles.
The base of the statue incorporates carved lions, referencing the legend that Saint Vitus survived being thrown into a lion pit.
