Monument to the heroes who committed the assassination of R.Heydrich, a representative of German Nazi occupiers, Bulovka, Prague. Yesterday it was 77 years old. (27.5.1942) It happened around here. Heydrich was the supreme Nazi who was wiped out during the war in Europe by the home resistance movement. In the following days, the Nazis murdered some 2,000 Czech patriots, including all residents of the village of Lidice. The monument depicts three male figures thrown into space. Two men are in uniforms, one in civilian clothes. So the paratroopers said they jumped out of the plane. The position also symbolizes self-sacrifice.

The most famous structure in Brno is undoubtedly The Villa Tugendhat as it’s the only one listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Villa Tugendhat is built in the functionalist style of the interwar period by German architect Ludwig Miese van der Rohe. When you will visit Brno, be sure to go there. However, purchase your tickets several months in advance!

For a long time, the church of St. Wojciech, founded in the XI century, was the main church of Usti nad Labem. But in 1538 it was destroyed by fire. The temple was restored only at the beginning of the XVII century by the monastic Dominican order. In the tower of the church of St. Wojciech there are two bells that were brought here from other temples. This is the bell of 1554, which was previously in the church of St. Nicholas in Třebushin, and the product, dated 1648, which adorned the church of St. Wenceslas in Blizhvedli.

Devil's Heads. A monumental work of 9 m high sculptures by sculptor Václav Levý, carved in the 19th century into sandstone rocks near the village of Želízy in Mělník in the Kokořínsko Protected Landscape Area.
Visiting this place is a powerful experience. Other sculptor's works can be found in the surroundings.
