The original monument was the work of Josef Mařatka, but it was destroyed by the Nazis after the occupation of Czechoslovakia. According to the original documentation, a copy of the original sculptures was created by the sculptor Kateřina Amortová, and the monument was re-unveiled on 28 October 1998 on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the foundation of Czechoslovakia. The central 16-meter-high monolith surrounds 7 legionnaire figures (one Italian, two Russian and four French) and the figure of a woman symbolizing Prague

A monument in honor of the Czechoslovak legionnaires killed during World War I. He was unveiled October 28, 1932. It is 16 meters high.

The legionary monument, which the Communists hide and keep secret for the resistance of the Russian Bolsheviks, was once again vented.

According to the project of Bohumil Hypšman, a new square was built between the Vltava River and the Emaus Monastery on the redevelopment of the original development of the historic Podskalí area, surrounded by uniformly designed buildings of state authorities. In the main axis of view, given by the position of the western facade of the monastery church, on 28 October 1932 a monumental monument to Czechoslovak legionaries, named "Prague to its victorious sons", was unveiled. The sculptural decoration of the monument was made by Josef Mařatka (May 21, 1874 - April 20, 1937), a student of Augusta Rodina and one of the official sculptors of the First Czechoslovak Republic. The lower part of the obelisk is surrounded by figures of seven legionnaires (one Italian, two Russian and four French) and a female figure symbolizing the city of Prague, which wraps the banner with a linden branch. Especially noteworthy is a detailed representation of the armament and equipment of individual soldiers. The center of the monument is a 16-meter-high obelisk that was originally chosen by Prague architect Josip Plečnik. However, as it broke, President Masaryk devoted the rest of it precisely for the purpose of building a legionary monument in Zítkovy sady. The inscriptions on the memorial cite the verses of poet Viktor Dyk "If you leave me, I will not perish, if you leave me you will perish". Then we also find the names of the battlefields where our legionaries fought during World War I. The monument was destroyed after the German occupation of the rest of Czechoslovakia, only the box containing the charter was saved, which the garage master Oldřich Rieger hid in Rakovník. Efforts to restore it began to intensify after 1989. According to the original documentation, bronze sculptures were created by sculptor Kateřina Amortová, the monument was unveiled again on the day of the 80th anniversary of the foundation of Czechoslovakia on 28 October 1998. The area surrounding the monument is full of landscaped beds that give this place a picturesque look and invite you to relax. Stand by, there's a special peace of mind.
