Well I have posted 2 photos of the National Monument in Vitkov because it is so big, vast and beautiful!
Statue of Jan Žižka is third largest equestrian statue in the world.

The monument was unveiled in 1950 on the anniversary of the battle on Vítkov (1420), in which the Hussites under the leadership of Jan Žižka defeated the Crusaders' troops in this place. The bronze monument has admirable size: it is 22 m high including the pedestal and the total weight is 16.5 t.
