Monument of Jan Žižka of Trocnov, Bronze equestrian statue in Tábor, Czech Republic

The monument features a sandstone statue created by Josef Strachovský in 1884, replacing an earlier bronze version by J.V. Myslbek.

The pedestal contains inscriptions listing the locations of military victories achieved by Jan Žižka, who remained undefeated until his death in 1424.

The monument emerged during the late 19th century Czech nationalism movement when the town council decided to honor the military leader.

The statue stands in a central location of Tábor, with inscriptions composed by historian František Palacký providing details about Žižka's achievements.

The monument underwent a material transformation, switching from its original bronze construction to sandstone due to defects in the initial casting.
