Description

Commemorative monument featuring a portrait medallion. The monument is situated on the inner wall of the ramparts on the west side of Vyšehrad. It was in 1905 installed at the entrance to the Vyýehrad tunnel and was moved to the present location in 1999. The present medaillion is a replica made of metal-coated plastic, as the previous bronze plaque was stolen in or short after 1989.
