Statues of Saints Barbara, Margaret and Elizabeth, Charles Bridge

The statues of Saints Barbara, Margaret, and Elizabeth stand on the northern side of Charles Bridge, representing three female patron saints of Christianity.

Ferdinand Brokoff crafted these religious figures in 1707, although the inscription mistakenly credits his father Johann as the sculptor of this sandstone work.

The three saints depicted in the statue group represent different patronages: Barbara for artillerymen, Margaret for pregnant women, and Elizabeth for bakers.

Visitors can view these statues while walking across Charles Bridge, which connects Prague Castle to the Old Town district over the Vltava River.

The statues form part of a collection of 30 religious sculptures on Charles Bridge, each positioned systematically along the bridge's balustrade.
