	Charles Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bridge is decorated by a continuous alley of 30 statues and statuaries, most of them baroque-style, erected around 1700.
		To sustain the bridge, tolls were taken, first by the religious order of the Knights of the Cross, that had their mother-house nearby, then by the Old Town municipality (until 1815).
		The floods intensified the voices of the supporters of an overall bridge reconstruction and, as of 2005, the current repair of the pillars is considered as the first phase of the reconstruction, which will concentrate especially on building a new hydroisolation system protecting the bridge.
