Monument to the fallen for Těšín Silesia, War memorial in Orlová, Czech Republic.
The Monument to the Fallen for Těšín Silesia features a sandstone sculpture of the Silesian eagle, created by local sculptor Ferdinand Malina.
The memorial, constructed in 1928, commemorates 55 soldiers who died during the Polish-Czechoslovak War and subsequent territorial disputes over Cieszyn Silesia.
Annual ceremonies on November 1st gather local residents at the monument to honor the memory of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the region.
The monument stands at coordinates 49°50'26"N and 18°25'29"E, with educational materials about the conflict available at the site.
The memorial resulted from a design competition won by architects Stránský and Šlégl with their proposal titled 'Green exclamation mark over Orlová'.
