In Wenceslas Square, near the Wenceslas monument, there is a sculpted cross set into the pavement in memory of Jan Palach, the student who burned himself to death in 1969 at this spot in protest at the Russian occupation. It is still regularly decorated with flowers and is a memorial for the Czechs of all who suffered under the Communist regime.
