Fodor's Review:

Situated on Vítkov Hill, one of the high points in the city, this stone building contains one outstanding feature: the largest equestrian statue in the world -- a 16.5-ton metal structure of Hussite leader Jan Zizka on horseback. In the past the 20th-century memorial was a final resting place for post-war presidents; now, the eerily quiet mausoleum is a popular spot for movie shoots.
