How it looked like:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Romanesque design<\/strong>: The bridge was built in the Romanesque style, characterized by semi-circular arches<\/strong> and robust, functional architecture.<\/li>\n
  • Stone construction<\/strong>: It was a stone bridge<\/strong>, one of the earliest of its kind north of the Alps.<\/li>\n
  • Arched span<\/strong>: It likely featured 15\u201320 arches<\/strong>, similar in number and proportion to what we now see with Charles Bridge, though on a narrower and more primitive scale<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Towers<\/strong>: It had defensive towers<\/strong> at both ends, likely much simpler than the Gothic Old Town Bridge Tower we now admire on Charles Bridge.<\/li>\n
  • Functionality over aesthetics<\/strong>: Compared to Charles Bridge’s decorative baroque statues, Judith Bridge was more about practicality<\/strong> and strength.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
