VYSEHRAD - HRBITOV SE SLAVINEM

Vyšehradské Cemetery with Slavín — National cultural monument
Former parish church of the Vyšehrad Canonry was changed into a national cemetery in the 70s of the 19th century. Local gravestones form a unique gallery of cemetery plastics with pieces by J.V. Myslbek, F. Bílek, B. Kafka and others. One part of this cemetery is so called Slavín, a common tomb to the most famous celebrities of the czech nation.
