Monument to Daniel Adam of Veleslavín, Memorial and historic site in Veleslavín district, Prague, Czech Republic

The Monument to Daniel Adam of Veleslavín is a bronze bust on a four-sided Art Nouveau pillar, set in the wooded Park Daniela Adama z Veleslavína on U sadu street in Prague 6. The bust, cast in 1902 by the Prague foundry Bendelmayer & Červenka after a design by sculptor Antonín Procházka, is an imaginary portrait because no three-dimensional likeness of Daniel Adam survives. Two wreath hooks remain on the sides of the pedestal.

The monument was erected in 1902 to commemorate a Renaissance figure who taught at Charles University in Prague. His impact came from making scholarly works accessible to others through printing and translation during a period when few had such skills.

The monument stands on the site of house no. 421/11, the farmstead of Štěpán Adam, where his son Daniel Adam was born in 1546. The park around it, formerly an unnamed orchard, was renamed Park Daniela Adama z Veleslavína in 2002. The unveiling on 6 June 1902 was attended by the sculptor Antonín Procházka, who died a year later.

The monument stands in the wooded, roughly triangular sloping Park Daniela Adama z Veleslavína along U sadu street in Prague 6–Veleslavín, named after him in 2002. Approach on foot through the park; the bust faces visitors at eye level on its stepped Art Nouveau pillar.

The bust is an imaginary portrait: no three-dimensional likeness of Daniel Adam survived, so sculptor Antonín Procházka modelled a face for the 1902 casting by the Prague foundry Bendelmayer & Červenka. The coat of arms and relief once on the pedestal were stolen, leaving only silhouette marks and nail holes.
