The bustling, pedestrian-friendly Charles Bridge in Prague, Czechia, as viewed from the tower on the Stare Mesto (Old Town) side of the structure. The bridge is 516 m (1,693 ft) long and almost 10 m (33 ft) wide, and it rests on 16 arches shielded by ice guards. Thirty statues of saints decorate the bridge avenue; most were erected between 1683 and 1714, but then replaced with replicas beginning in 1965. The originals are currently housed in the National Museum.

Age structure

2024 population pyramid:
This is the population pyramid for Czechia. A population pyramid illustrates the age and sex structure of a country's population and may provide insights about political and social stability, as well as economic development. The population is distributed along the horizontal axis, with males shown on the left and females on the right. The male and female populations are broken down into 5-year age groups represented as horizontal bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality, and international migration trends. <br/><br/>For additional information, please see the entry for Population pyramid on the Definitions and Notes page.
