Bronze panels on the statue of Jan Nepomucky on Charles Bridge in Prague.The bronze relief at left shows a soldier petting a dog in a dungeon, and in the background the queen speaking to a priest in a confession booth. Legend says that if you touch the dog or the priest and wish for a secret to never come out, this wish will be granted. The relief on the right shows an army throwing Jan from the bridge. Touch this one, and you'll return to Prague.
