The three-level structure of Cesky Krumlov castle Cloak Bridge seen from lower town
The image shows the imposing structure of the Cloak Bridge seen from below, from the old town. The bridge, connecting the castle to the baroque theater and gardens, develops on three levels of superimposed arches, creating a unique engineering work of its kind. The lower level features wide stone arches, while the upper levels are characterized by covered galleries with windows. The building on the right, part of the castle complex, shows walls decorated with sgraffito technique. A wooden pedestrian bridge in the foreground crosses the castle moat. Lush vegetation frames the scene, typical of Bohemian spring. This perspective allows appreciation of the architectural boldness of this structure built in the 17th century to allow nobles to reach the theater and gardens without descending into town.
