Památník Pražského povstání, War memorial in Hlubočepy, Prague, Czech Republic
The Pamätnik Pražského povstání stands on a rocky outcrop above the Vltava River near the Barrandov Terraces. The structure features a stone base with an embedded mosaic panel and several commemorative plaques for those who died.
The monument was built in 1988 to replace earlier smaller memorials for 168 defenders who fell during the Prague Uprising in May 1945. These fighters resisted Nazi occupation during the final days of World War Two.
The memorial displays a mosaic showing barricade fighters created by artist Martin Sladský. The inscriptions come from poet Miroslav Florian and honor those who gave their lives during the uprising.
Paved stairs climb from the Vltava River up to the site, though the area has ongoing construction work. Visitors should wear proper footwear as the location has no shelter or seating areas.
The memorial originally had bronze plaques bearing the names of fallen defenders, but these were stolen after 1989. Today plastic replacements mark where the names once stood, reflecting the site's complex history in the post-Cold War period.
