Museum Národní památník na Vítkově in Prague 3

You're standing on Vítkov Hill, high above Prague's Žižkov district. In front of you is the National Monument, one of the most important buildings honouring the Czech state. Start with that huge rider. That's Jan Žižka, leader of the radical Hussites. It's the third-largest bronze equestrian statue in the world: nine metres tall, almost ten metres long and weighing sixteen and a half tonnes. It's tied down to concrete plugs anchored deep in the building.
