What people say

Wiktoria Górska-Kijanka
"The artist designed and built his own studio and villa to accommodate the monumental size of the memorial. Unveiled in 1915 to mark the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom, the memorial was created by Ladislav Šaloun and funded entirely by public contributions. Jan Hus, born in 1369, was a prominent reformer, philosopher, and religious scholar in Prague, and a key precursor to the 16th-century Protestant movement. He criticized the moral decline of the Catholic Church in his writings."
"At the square's center stands a statue of religious reformer Jan Hus, erected in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of his death. "
