★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This memorial stands in tribute to the martyrdom of Jan Hus and the allegorical victory of the reformers. The memorial is truly monumental in size and dominates the centre of the old town square.
The memorial is a bronze sculpture depicting Jan Hus standing defiantly in the middle of the sculpture. To the left is the defeated counter-reformers and to the right is a woman, an allegorical reference to national rebirth.
A fine memorial and worth visiting if in Prague, along with all the other attractions in the old town square.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This monument of stone and bronze made by Ladislav Šaloun is one of the most significant Art Nouveau and Symbolist works of Czech Monumental Sculpture.
It is dominated by the figure of the martyr Huss above a burning stake, looking towards the main Hussite Church of the Virgin Mary in front of Týn Church. Then there are groups of people, fighters with a shield and a flail and opposite to it there is a group of humiliated people, representing the exhiles in the period of the oppression after the Battle of the White Mountain. In 1903 the foundation stone of this monument was laid and the monument was unofficially unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus martyrdom (the festive event was prohibited). Celebrations were postponed for a more favourable time. Prague citizens at least covered the monument with flowers at that time. After the foundation of the Republic, signs were added and in 1926 bowls for fires and railings
The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus in the wake of the lost Battle of the White Mountain , and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa where the work could be carried out.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The center points of the city. Crowded by tourists in both Day and night. Many kind of restaurants in the area (many asian restaurants). Most mini mart run by Vietnamese. The town is so beautiful with old building. I didn’t use public transport in Prague. The places to see is close to each other so I just walked all around.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A nice monument, especially when you check the story. It is fenced, so there is no possibility to enter the steps leading to the monument - you can just see it from the "ground level".

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Jan was one of the revolutionaries and he was really important for the history of the city so it is logical that’s his statue is on old town Square.
