Statues of Saints Cyril and Methodius at Charles Bridge
Statues of Saints Cyril and Methodius at Charles Bridge, Religious monument on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic.
The sandstone statues represent Saints Cyril and Methodius in a preaching stance surrounded by Moravian people on Charles Bridge.
Karel Dvořák created the statues between 1928 and 1938 to honor the missionaries who spread Christianity among Slavic peoples in the 9th century.
The statues commemorate Saints Cyril and Methodius, who developed the Glagolitic alphabet and translated religious texts into Slavonic language.
The statues stand on the north side of Charles Bridge, accessible daily without admission fees through the bridge walkway.
These figures represent the only 20th-century addition to the medieval Charles Bridge statue collection.
