Statue of Karl Marx in Karlovy Vary, Bronze memorial statue in Castle Hill district, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

The statue depicts Karl Marx in a seated position with precise measurements of 205 centimeters in height and 110 centimeters in width, made of bronze on a granite base.

Local sculptor Karel Kuneš created the monument, which was unveiled on May 5, 1988, commemorating Marx's three visits to Karlovy Vary between 1874 and 1876.

The monument stands opposite the Russian Consulate, representing the political and philosophical influence of Marx's work in Eastern European intellectual discourse.

Visitors can reach the memorial by taking Bus Number 4 from the Market to By the Pond stop, followed by a 100-meter walk down Petr Veliký Street.

This monument marks Karel Kuneš's second artistic representation of Marx, following his earlier creation of a bust at the Hot Springs Colonnade.
