The square is 700m long and 60m wide so you can use it to count distances on the map. At the top you can see the National Museum; together with the National Theatre they were built at the end of the 1800s during the Czech Renaissance. Going down the square, we can see the Monument of Wenceslas placed here at the end of the 1800s. It had become the symbol of the nation; in fact just in front of it Jan Palach burned himself to death on January 16,1969 to protest against the invasion of the tanks from the Communist Block that had occurred one year earlier.Today the Wenceslas statue is the most common meeting place for locals.
