Radetzky Memorial in Prague, Bronze military monument in Malostranské náměstí, Prague, Czech Republic.
The Radetzky Memorial in Prague is a bronze statue featuring Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky holding the Austrian flag, surrounded by soldiers from different nations of the empire. The figures stand together to represent the diversity of armies under Austrian rule.
The memorial stood in the main square from 1858 until 1918, when it was taken down after Czechoslovakia became independent. Its removal marked the political break from Austrian rule.
The memorial shows how Czech history and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were connected through military service and shared rule. Visitors today see it as a reminder of a complex period when different peoples lived under the same crown.
The original statue is now kept in the National Museum's Lapidarium collection, where you can see the detailed craftsmanship up close. The collection is easy to reach and shows many similar historical monuments from the same period.
The bronze figures were cast using metal from artillery captured during the Italian Wars of Independence. This made the sculptures a symbol of the empire's military power at the time.
