Comments:
The plaque on the Charles Bridge tower marks the last battle in the 30 year war. In a battle in 1648, the defenders of the city managed to repel the Swedish forces on this bridge.

The tower was photographed on the same day by the same photographer Click for a larger image

The Latin text appearing in the description of the sign is probably not punctuated correctly.
