Jan Hus monument
Jan Hus was a 14th — 15th century theologian and Church reformer (the movement he founded is considered a key predecessor to Protestantism), executed by Church authorities. This monument was put up in 1915, on the 500th anniversary of his burning at the stake. It includes various Hussite warriors, and a young mother symbolising national rebirth.
According to Wikipedia, Jan Hus became a symbol of of dissidence against oppressive regimes to the people of Bohemia—first the Habsburgs and the Catholic Church, then Communist rule.
