Saint Adalbert, Stone statue on Charles Bridge, Czech Republic

The statue portrays Saint Adalbert holding a prelate stick that changes into a sea paddle, positioned on the south side of Charles Bridge.

Created in 1709 by artists Michael and Ferdinand Brokoff, the statue was commissioned by Markus Bernard Joanelli, a councilor of Prague Old Town.

Saint Adalbert, known as Vojtěch in Czech, stands as a prominent figure in the Christianization of Bohemia during the tenth century.

The monument remains accessible throughout the year as part of the open-air gallery of statues that line both sides of Charles Bridge.

The base features detailed carvings of angels and the personal emblem of its donor, Markus Bernard Joanelli, reflecting Baroque craftsmanship.
