Národní památník na Vítkově
"Žižkov Monument", located at the top of Vítkov Hill. This immense equestrian statue was erected in 1950 to commemorate the Czech national hero Jan Žižka, who fought his most famous battle on this site and later had the hill and the neighbouring city renamed after himself. The scale of the monument is impressive enough, but the views of Žižkov (and the rest of Prague) from the top of the hill really make the climb worthwhile.
Used since the late 18th century, when the well-known Old Jewish Cemetery in Old Town ceased to be used. One century later, the bigger New Cemetery was built (see above). Located right under the Žižkov TV Tower, more than half of the cemetery was destroyed.
