St. Cyril and Methodius – history

A Baroque church was built in the years 1730 – 36 on the corner of Resslova and Na Zderaze Streets according to a project of Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer and Pavel Ignác Bayer. The prominent Baroque chamber building was originally consecrated to St. Charles of Boromej. It was a part of the neighbouring institutional home for the emeritus priests, which was abolished in 1783 and changed into barracks and warehouses. In 1866, the building of the priest home became a part of the Czech Technical University and was adapted to suit its needs.

The church today rests on an elevated terrace which was made during terrain adaptations during the 1880s. It is a longitudinal chamber building, the aisle of which has three fields, a choir loft and a choir. The interior frescoes depicting scenes from the St. Charles legend were realized by Karel Schöpf, the stucco decorations from 1739 are the work of Michal Ignác Palliardi. The original imperial roof of the tower was taken down in 1883

Operation Anthropoid - may 27, 1942

Operation Anthropoid - 78 years ago, the attack on Reinhard Heydrich took place. In my opinion, he was one of the most important people responsible for the Holocaust.

The assassination took place on May 27, and the assassins were Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík. A sharp turn in Prague-Liben was chosen as the ambush site. During the speed reduction, a shootout ensued between Jozef Gabcik and Heydrich and his driver. Jan Kubiš, throwing a modified hand grenade, damaged the car and seriously injured Reinhard Heydrich. After the not fully successful operation, the bombers managed to escape and for some time hid with six other members of the resistance movement in the crypt of the Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Cyril and Methodius. The Nazis came across the hideout due to the betrayal of Karel Čurda, who revealed the names of people helping the paratroopers. On June 18, 1942, the cathedral was surrounded by the SS group and the Gestapo. Gabčik, Jaroslav Švarc, Jan Hrubý, Josef Valčík, Adolf Opálka and Josef Bublík committed suicide in the surro

Operation Anthropoid Memorial

Memorial in Prague

The Operation Anthropoid Memorial (Czech: Památník Operace Anthropoid) is a monument in Libeň, Prague that commemorates Operation Anthropoid, an ambush on senior Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich by Czechoslovakian partisans on 27 May 1942 which resulted in his death one week later.

Design and construction

Operation Anthropoid had never served as the basis of a sculpture or public work of art. On 14 April 2008 the Prague 8 city district announced its intention to hold a one-round competition, open to the public, for the design of a memorial to Operation Anthropoid and to Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík. One of the chief design requirements for the memorial was that it should not merely commemorate one of the most successful actions of the Czechoslovak resistance during World War II, but that it should also serve as a tribute to the virtues embodied in the Czechoslovak military tradition – a commitment to one's oath of duty, and to defending one’s nation even at the cost of one's own life.^[1]
