One of the Czech Republic’s most iconic landmarks, Charles Bridge in Prague, has been spray-painted with graffiti. The inscription, written in blue paint, stretching almost halfway up the stone railing. Conservationist Jakub Tluchoř is now working on removing the paint, which is expected to take him several days.
