AB Around the mid-19th century three chain bridges were built over River Vltava in Prague. The earliest of these, the bridge of Francis I by the constructor Bedřich Schnirch, was replaced in 1899 by a new stone bridge, today the Legion bridge. During a standard archaeological rescue excavation, the entrance ramp of the bridge was revealed in a trench for the reconstruction of a water pipe in Vítězná street, Malá Strana. This article also mentions other archaeological excavations of Prague industrial buildings.
