Crusader Square

站在马尼斯桥Manesuv most上欧洲最古老的石桥—查理大桥完完全全的呈现在眼前，520米长10米宽16座桥墩如同一条灰黑色的巨龙横卧在波光粼粼的伏尔塔瓦河上，左侧的红星十字骑士会Řád křižovníků s červenou hvězdou修道院和右侧的卡夫卡博物馆分居河岸两旁，中间的航道上游船穿梭其间，浅水湾里悠雅觅食的天鹅和悠闲的渔夫，印衬在碧水青山之中相得益彰。顺着有轨电车道的方向，踏着青石板路一路向南，不久就到了十字军广场Kostel svateho Frantiska z Assisi ，其名称源自于广场北侧的红星十字骑士会修道院。正如同欧洲其他城镇的一样，这是一个超迷你的小广场，完全没有国内的高大上的气势。广场中央矗立着最伟大的捷克人-查理Karlova四世（1316—1378年）的青铜立像，查理四世作为德意志国王和神圣罗马帝国皇帝，是中世纪捷克最强盛的时期布拉格的建造者和查理大学的缔造者。手持黄金诏书的雕像由德累斯顿Ernst Hahne雕像家1848年创作以纪念查理大学创建500周年，下方四雕像代表建校时神学.哲学.法学.医学四学院。正对着广场右手边的就是胡斯派教堂—圣尼古拉教堂Kostel sv. Mikulase，初建于十三世纪，到十八世纪才改为巴洛克风格，由当时的著名巴洛克建筑师丁森霍夫Kilián Ignác Dienzenhofer负责设计,教堂外观极为抢眼，雪白的建筑配上青铜屋顶，与伦敦的圣马丁教堂神似，入夜后伴随着灯光亮起来了盛装的号手在门前吹起了集结号，教堂摇身一变就成了布拉格市民们欣赏古典音乐的场所之一。

广场上面有很多广场，周边都是咖啡店什么的。广场上面还看到吹泡泡的人呢，是要花钱的。还有一些巨大的玩偶和他们拍照也是要给钱的。

布拉格的一个景点，适合拍照，十字军骑士广场自1848年定型为今日的模样，靠近查理大桥和皇家之路。它虽然属于布拉格最小的广场之一，却是该城游客最多的地方之一

The Crusader Square (Kiovnické námstí) is a square in the old city of Prague, the Czech capital, on the right bank of the Voltawa River, near the Charles Bridge and the Royal Road. In the Middle Ages, it was the island of Kiovnick and is now largely covered by buildings. Other major buildings on the square include the Staromstská mostecká v, and the Gothic Revival-style monument to Charles IV, created by Dresden sculptor Ernst Hähnel for the 500th anniversary of the University of Charles.

A square in Prague's Old Town on the right bank of the Voltawa River, near the Charles Bridge and the Royal Road. Other major buildings on the square are the Old Town Bridge Tower and the Gothic Revival Charles IV monument. This is the small square between the tower bridge in front of the statue of Charles IV and the place where Charles Bridge to the old town is to pass, so it is always very lively here.

The Crusader Square is at the end of the Charles Bridge, connected to the Royal Road, and it is not known that this is a square, I am afraid it is the smallest square in the world. The most attractive thing is the various statues on the Savior Church in the square, standing quietly on a small platform, looking at people coming and going. We also saw a pair of homeless people and their dogs begging in the square.
