Mr Monkey couldn't help noticing that all the statues lining the bridge were religious. The first statue was put up in 1683, though most were added in the early 18th century. In a program which started in 1965 all the originals have been replaced by replicas. Mr Monkey studied the statues as he crossed the bridge and was particularly impressed by the 17th century Crucifixion and the statues of Saints Norbert, Wenceslas and Sigismund.
