This simple memorial (eight hands giving the 'V' for victory sign and the date, 17 November 1989) commemorates the Velvet Revolution, which began on Národní třída when riot police attacked peacefully protesting students. It's the central point of the annual events to mark the revolution, with dignitaries and ordinary people laying flowers and lighting candles.
