Lonely Planet review for Wenceslas Statue

The focal point of Wenceslas Sq (Václavské náměstí) is this equestrian statue of St Wenceslas at its southern end. Sculptor Josef Myslbek has surrounded the 10th-century duke of Bohemia and the 'Good King Wenceslas', of Christmas carol fame, with four other patron saints of Bohemia - Prokop, Adalbert, Agnes, and Ludmila. Nearby, another small memorial to the victims of communism displays photographs of Jan Palach and fellow martyred student Jan Zajíc.
