The Holy Roman Emperor

This is a view of Charles peering out from the St. Nicholas Church's right wall. Seen with a golden staff he was the most famous emperor of Bohemia and the Roman empire. This famous king has two cities, a university, and a bridge named after him. Under his patronage Prague had truly gained a lot.

FACT: The king was said to suffer from gout and this gave him a hunchbacked appearance. The Old Town Square has great architectural feats. These building range from the eatufil Cathedral of Tyn to the sculptures and statues of kings, saints and monarchs that line up all along the Charles Bridge.
