The National Memorial on the Vítkov Hill

Monuments & Sites, Museums & Art Centres
The National Memorial on the Vítkov Hill, part of The National Museum, commemorates the second – anti-Nazi resistance. Before it was rebuilt, it was formerly a memorial, constructed in the years 1928–1938, in honour of the Czechoslovak legionaries. Prominent representatives of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia were buried here.

After 1989, all of the remains buried here were taken away, however, for a long time particular utilisation was a subject of discussion. In 2001, the Vítkov National Memorial became part of a government resolution on rehabilitation and reconstruction of some memorials related to Czechoslovak history of the 20th century.
