Monument to the fallen for Těšín Silesia, War memorial in Orlová, Czech Republic.

The Monument to the Fallen for Těšín Silesia stands on the cemetery in Orlová. Its architectural section was built in 1928 by Čeněk Volný of Doubrava, a former Italian legionary, while the sandstone sculpture of the Silesian eagle was carved by Orlová sculptor Ferdinand Malina from Bohanecký sandstone. The original sculpture was destroyed during the Polish annexation and replaced by a replica by Martin Chmelař in 2024.

The monument was built in 1928, but its origins lie in a fund set up by Orlová Sokol members in November 1919 to support wounded soldiers and survivors of the Polish–Czechoslovak War. In 1922 the remains of 22 legionnaires and soldiers, including Jan Čapek, were exhumed from the Polish part of Těšín Silesia and reburied in Orlová. The monument was damaged during the Polish annexation of 1938–1939 and fully restored in 2024.

The monument is the site of annual January commemorations held by the city of Orlová and local associations on the anniversary of the Czechoslovak-Polish War over Těšín Silesia. In June, the Czechoslovak Legionary Community Ostrava I and Sokol Moravská Ostrava I occasionally honour Jan Čapek, the Sokol official and founder of the Czechoslovak Legion in Italy, who fell on the Piave in 1918.

The monument stands on the Orlová cemetery and is part of the Zapomenutá Orlová heritage trail, marked by an information board. The site is freely accessible; the memorial itself is a short walk from the cemetery entrance.

The 1924 competition drew 39 proposals; the jury chose three, and first prize went to "Green exclamation mark over Orlová" by architects Stránský and Šlégl with sculptor Václav Žaluda. The sandstone Silesian eagle was carved by Ferdinand Malina of Orlová, the architectural part built by Čeněk Volný of Doubrava.
