Jan Hus Memorial at Old Town Square was erected on 6 July 1915 to commemorate 500th anniversary of his death. The author who designed the statue was Ladislav Saloun. Like Jan Hus’ resistance against the Church in the early 15th century, his persona and his Old Town Square statue became symbols of the Czech nation’s resistance against foreign rule over the Czech lands (including the Habsburgs, the Nazis, the Russians and communism).
