On The Palacky Square, opposite The Palacky Bridge, features the monument of František Palacký. Do you know him?
If you have ever been in the Czech Republic, yes. And you do not even know about it ... This is the face from a thousand crowns bank-note!
This man determined Czech politics between 1848 and 1876... And indeed, Czech history from the earliest times to the 16th century.
Before becoming a respected leader of Czech politics, he was the first modern Czech historian.
And if you do not know it, 9 from 10 Czechs do not know it too. It's been so long ago ...
Only the monument remained.
