The monument "Prague to its victorious sons" by sculptor Josef Marzatka was inaugurated on October 28.1932. The lower part of the 16-meter-high granite obelisk is covered by seven figures of legionnaires and a female figure - an allegory of the city of Prague, which adorns the flag with a linden branch. Although the lands of Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, many Czechs and Slovaks fought on the side of the Entente as part of volunteer formations of the armed forces of France, Italy and Russia.→
