The Legion Bridge is the seventh bridge in Prague on Vltava. It stands on the site of the original chain bridge named after Emperor Francis I. It joins Shooter's Island and the Lesser Quarter. On the initiative of the entrepreneur Vojtěch Lanna, it was built between 1898 - 1901 by the architect and engineer Anthony Balšánek and Jiri Soukup. In 1901 it was opened in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I, after whom it was carrying its first name. After World War I, it was given today's name – the Legion Bridge. During World War II, the occupation was renamed again, this time after Bedřich Smetana, in 1960 to the Velvet Revolution, was called the First of May Bridge. The bridge was built in the architectural style of neo Art Nouveau. Its art decoration, such as stone and bronze handrail lighting lampposts, underwent repairs in the years 1981 - 1983 on the occasion of the reconstruction of the National Theatre. On both sides of the bridge, two towers were located to collect tolls in the past. The bridge is 343 meters long and 16 meters wide. It is divided into 8 flat elliptical and 1 round arches. It is built of granite blocks.

Smetana Embankment (Smetanovo nábřeží)begins at the Legion Bridge and runs around Novotného footbridge to the Knights of the Cross Square and then to the Charles Bridge. Due to the attractive view from the Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, and its vicinity to the Old Town, this segment belongs to Prague's most popular tourist areas. Until the mid-19th century, you would not find here anything other than open sandy areas, which gradually sank in the river lined by old fishing cottages and crooked trees. In 1841 - 1845, the first Prague stone embankment was erected, leading from the Charles Bridge to the new chain bridge of Emperor František I. The embankment designed by architect Bernard Gruber and Vojtěch Lanna, famous entrepreneur from České Budějovice built it from chiseled granite blocks. The construction was paid for by the Czech state, which has purchased land in these places. Initially, the embankment didn’t even have a proper name and was simply Embankment or Old Town Embankment.
