Introduction

The Old Town Bridge Tower is one of the most outstanding Gothic buildings in the world. Built in the late 14th century, it is located on the Crusader Square on the east side of the Charles Bridge in the Old Town area of Prague. The tower is 18 meters tall and has a gallery where visitors can enjoy magnificent views of the Charles Bridge, Old Town, and Prague Castle. During the restoration of the Old Town Bridge Tower, two mysterious inscriptions were found. Whether read from left to right or right to left, the two inscriptions have the same text (excluding spaces). Legend has it that these inscriptions contain a spell with magical and powerful properties.
