Nice church , viewed it from the outside only , looks really beautiful

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.

Has been closed since a long time ago, but it's exteriors are impressive

Loved the place, there were 4 tombs , 2 underground cut into the earth rock and two over the surface but in a very bad condition.
