Vítkov National Memorial

Why go

The equestrian Žižka points back to the Hussite battle fought on this hill in 1420, while the building reflects twentieth-century Czechoslovak statehood. Its later use under the communist regime adds another layer to read carefully. The Tomb of an Unknown Soldier makes this a place of remembrance as well as an architectural landmark.

What to look for

• Jan Žižka’s equestrian statue stands outside the memorial.
• The Tomb of an Unknown Soldier is part of the memorial.
• Vítkov’s hilltop setting connects the monument with Žižkov below.

Useful to know

• Allow for the climb up Vítkov Hill before the indoor visit.
• Check current memorial entry details with the Military History Institute before travelling.
