Wilson statue in Vrchlického Sady, Bronze memorial statue in Vrchlického Sady park, Prague, Czech Republic
The Wilson statue is a bronze figure of the American president located in Vrchlického Sady near Prague Main Station. The figure with outstretched arms stands on a stone base that holds several commemorative plaques and inscriptions.
The monument was unveiled in 1928, but Nazi forces damaged it during World War II. A new version was erected and installed at the same location in 2011.
The monument bears inscriptions in two languages that symbolize American support for Czech independence. Plaques on the pedestal tell this story, and visitors can read them as they approach the figure.
The monument is located near the train station and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. The park provides a calm place to stop and read the informational plaques without crowds.
The base contains engraved names of hundreds of donors who funded the reconstruction after the war. These names form a path that makes individual support for the restoration visible to visitors.
