Žižkova mohyla, Memorial tumulus in Žižkovo Pole, Czech Republic

Žižkova mohyla is a stone memorial near Přibyslav featuring a cylindrical structure about 15 meters tall with battle names inscribed and a large chalice at the top. The square base of the mound is made from materials gathered from various historical locations across the Czech Republic.

Jan Žižka is said to have died here on 11 October 1424 in the arms of Michal Koudele of Žitenice, though the exact place is disputed; a large cross in the field marks the supposed spot. The land was bought in 1862 by Julius Grégr and given to the Prague Sokol, and Jan Otto proposed a stone mound in 1869. Antonín Wiehl's 1870 design won the competition and was built by Josef Šupich; it was unveiled on 20 September 1874 before about 20,000 people.

The mound is topped by a roughly 1.5 m stone chalice, the symbol of Czech Hussitism, and its cylindrical drum bears the names of Žižka's victories, from Sudoměř and Vítkov (1420) to Malešov (1424). The 1874 unveiling, organised by František Ladislav Rieger for the 450th anniversary of his death, drew about 20,000 people.

The mound stands by road 351, reachable by car from Česká Bělá via Žižkovo Pole or from Dobrá, a part of Přibyslav. The nearest train stop is Přibyslav, about 3 km away and walkable. The mound and its land belong to the town of Přibyslav.

The memorial contains stones collected from various important Czech locations, selected by patriotic societies. This material connection makes the mound more than just a marker for a single event.
