The Statue of St. Wenceslas

As you look towards the southern end of the square, you will notice the Statue of St. Wenceslas, an equestrian statue by J.V. Myslbek. The good King Wenceslas, as he is known from the famous Christmas carol, is surrounded by the statues of four Czech saints, St. Ludmila (the grandmother of St. Wenceslas), St. Prokop, St. Adalbert and St. Agnes. The statue is a point of reference and a favorite meeting spot in Prague.
