Winged Lion Memorial, War memorial in Klárov district, Prague, Czech Republic
The bronze Winged Lion sculpture stands two meters high on a circular pedestal covered with Czech granite, featuring riveted aircraft-style side panels.
The memorial honors 2,513 Czechoslovak airmen who served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, with many participating in the Battle of Britain.
The monument displays names and ranks of all Czech and Slovak personnel who served, marking those who died with crosses on memorial panels.
The memorial sits opposite the Malostranska metro and tram station, near the Iron Footbridge, Old Castle Steps, and River Vltava in Prague.
The circular base design mirrors the Czech Air Force insignia when viewed from above, connecting the memorial's form with military aviation history.
