A beautiful park, lots of benches to sit and in the middle a monument to Master Jan Hus.

There are homeless people, junkies, maladapted people and rude youth.

The valuable building of the memorial by the academic sculptor and native of Chýnov František Bílek from 1927 recalls important events in Czech history. Hus's monument is located in the southwestern part of Hus's park on Hus's square. The monument was built on the initiative of the Association for the Construction of Hus's Monument. The foundation stone was laid on July 6, 1927 and handed over to the public on July 6, 1928. Bílek conceived Hus's monument as a temple - a sacrificial site, as an open book of the history of the Hussites. In the foreground, a life-size bronze sculpture of Jan Hus, built on a granite pedestal, with a carved text ("flames moving towards the truth") stands on a large circular concrete plinth. Flames are shown at the base of the figure. The valuable memorial from the academic sculptor and Chýnov native František Bílek from 1927 reminds of significant events of Czech history.

The monument to Jan Hus, one of the most significant reformers in the history of the Catholic Church, is located in the city park of the same name in Tabor. The idea to create this memorial belongs to Frantisek Bilek, one of the most prominent Czech sculptors of the early 20th century. Outstanding Czech thinker, ideologist and preacher Jan Hus was born in the small town of Husinets in 1369. After graduating from the University of Prague in 1396, he received a Master of Arts degree and began giving lectures of his own. Beginning in 1401, Jan Hus began to preach in the Church of St. Michael, and a year later he was appointed rector of the private Bethlehem chapel. In his sermons, he openly castigated the vices of the Catholic Church: the sale of indulgences and the desire to instill blind obedience among parishioners. For this he was accused of heresy, and then executed on July 6, 1415. The death of Jan Hus led to prolonged Hussite wars between his followers and Catholics. The opening of the monument took place on July 6, 1928 in Jan Hus Park, and was timed to coincide with the 513th anniversary of his death.
