Památník tří odbojů

The Memorial of Three Resistances is a seven-meter granite obelisk topped with a metal wave that resembles a bird's wing in flight. Located near the Law Faculty on Třída 17. listopadu, the structure combines stone and metal elements in its design.

The monument was unveiled on November 17, 2004, honoring three resistance movements across Czech history: opposition during World War I, resistance in World War II, and struggles against Communist rule. The date of dedication mirrors one of these pivotal moments in the nation's past.

The inscription reads 'To Freedom Fighters - Grateful Olomouc' and the site serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come to remember struggles for liberty. Annual commemorations happen here, bringing the community together to honor those who resisted.

The monument sits directly on Třída 17. listopadu in a central location that is easy to reach on foot. The site is openly accessible and allows visitors to view the structure and read the inscription from street level.

Sculptor Bohumil Teplý designed the wing-like metal form to reach upward toward the sky, symbolizing freedom's flight. This artistic choice makes the memorial instantly recognizable and distinguishes it from traditional monuments.
