At the Wenceslas Square in 1812 a monument to the legendary Czech prince Watslav was erected by a prominent sculptor Yosef Myslbek. Everyone who comes to Prague, one way or another pass by, or even purposefully attend it. Prince Vaclav, in any way, one of the most significant figures in the history of the Czech Republic. By the way, most of the meetings of the townspeople also take place here, "by the horse", or under the clock in the Old Town Square.

In general, the first monument to St. Wenceslas was established in Prague as far back as 1680. But, alas, has not survived to this day . His modern "brother" is made of bronze: Vaclav sat on a horse, clutching a spear in his right hand. It is surrounded by saints, their four: Prokop, Voitekh, Lyudmila and Anechka.

St.Vaclav (nicknamed Dobry) of the Prshemyslov family - patron of the Czech Republic, national favorite, he held the Czech throne in 10th century . He is revered by both Catholics and Orthodox . He was raised by a grandmother, canonized by Saint Lyudmila, in the Christian faith . When Václav came to power, having inherited the Czech throne, he, in the country, and even in neighboring Germany, people to Christianity . His mother's pagan and who was also a follower of paganism, did not like it . To know who did not want to recognize Christianity, and Boleslav entered into a criminal conspiracy and killed Wenceslas Dobroi literally on the steps at the entrance to the temple . At that time he was only 28 years old . Boleslav bitterly regretted what he had done until the end of his days .
