The Palacký Bridge (1876) (Czech: Palackého most) is a
bridge in Prague. It is one of the oldest functioning
bridges over the Vltava in Prague after the Charles Bridge.
It was built as the third major bridge shortly after the
1868 opening of the Franz Joseph I Suspension Bridge,
designed by Rowland Mason Ordish which was damaged in 1941
and dismantled in 1946.
Josef Václav Myslbek created statues of four pairs of
legendary couples for the bridge. These were later removed
to the grounds of the Vyšehrad.
