monument “Prague To Its Victorious Sons” with the Emmaus Monastery in the background (infrared photography)
The monument was created by sculptor Josef Mařatka in memory of the Czechoslovak legionnaires who fell during World War I. It was unveiled on 28 October 1932. The 16-metre high granite obelisk is surrounded by a group of seven legionaries (one Italian, two Russian and four French) and a female figure representing the city of Prague. The monument was destroyed during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. A bronze copy was unveiled on 28 October 1998.
The Emmaus Monastery with the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was founded by King Charles IV. Luxembourg in 1347 for the Benedictines to strengthen Slavic relations. It became a centre of education, art and Slavic literature. Over the following centuries it was modified several times. However, today's typical appearance of the concrete shell wings is the result of renovations designed by architect František Maria Černý in the 1950s. These were carried out after bombs in an air raid in 1945 destroyed most of the monastery, including many wall paintings.
