Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The monument is dedicated to the famous Czech religious reformer and anti-Papal authoritarian scholar Jan Hus. The statue was built in 1915. Even today, it seems that the glory of this great pioneer can still be seen. Historical Background The Jan Hus Monument is located on the east side of Prague's Old Town Square. Jan Hus had multiple identities in his life, a famous religious reformer, a great patriot, and the first president of Charles University in Prague. He advocated teaching in the Czech language. Later, because of his opposition to clerical autocracy, Germanization and other corrupt phenomena, he was burned at the stake in 1415 by the Pope Inquisition for "unspeakable and despicable crimes such as murder, trafficking in the priesthood, and adultery". The death of Hus sparked a widespread religious revolution in the area, and the statue was cast in 1915 with donations from the public.

Hus is also a very memorial place, this character named after the character is also a famous historical figure in Prague, the monument is very grand, and the neighborhood is also very interesting.
This monument is the color of peacock green, and it feels like a rusty copper color. I don't know if it was deliberately made like this or if it was oxidized for a long time. This sculpture is a little on the edge of the old town square. It feels like you can see it at a glance, usually where the tour group gathers.
A monument dedicated to the famous Czech Reformer and anti-Holy authority scholar Yang • Hus, statues were formed in 1915, and today, it seems that the glory of the great pioneer can still be seen.
In the center of the Old Town Square there is a huge group of sculptures commemorating the famous Czech Reformer, the great patriot, and the first president of Charlie University in Prague (the oldest university in Central Europe, built in 1348): Yang • Hus. Yang • Hus reformed and simplified Czech grammar, advocated the use of short-term teaching in universities, and opposed corruption such as Germanization, authoritarianism, senior teaching ranks and the sale of "atonement" by teaching chiefs. Because Huss's claims were in direct opposition to the Roman Catholic Church, he was executed by the papal inquisition on 6 July 1415 in Constanz, Switzerland (now in Germany), for violating the rules of the Church and spreading heresy. The statue of Hus was made from 1902 to 1915 for 13 years, and was unveiled on July 6, 1915, the 500th anniversary of Hus' burning.
Prague under night looked particularly heavy, walking across the Charles Bridge, continuing to the Old City Square to shoot the great Czech Reformation pioneer [Hus Memorial Statue], and shooting in black and white filming appeared even more tragic. Similarly, the black and white [Tyne Church], which is more demonic in appearance.
The Hus Monument is located in the northeast corner of Prague's Old Town Square. The tall bronze statue is very eye-catching even if it is seen from the top of the bell tower. Not to mention, Hus's three famous words "love true, say true, guard true" are engraved on the base of the monument. Because of the statue of Hus, the pioneer of the Reformation, the old city is also known as Hus Square, and the monument's existence is also one of the most important art nouveau and symbolic works in the Czech memorial sculpture.
The Old Town Square is a must-see place in Prague. The square is the place with the most tourists and the place with the most historical buildings. The most striking is the Husi statue and the Tyne Church, but people who don’t know much about Hus may ignore him. He is as famous as Confucius, but he is not very good at it
