Overview
The Franz Kafka Monument is a striking bronze sculpture standing 3.75 meters tall, located in the heart of Prague's Jewish Quarter. Created by the artist Jaroslav Róna, this monument serves as a tribute to the city's most legendary writer. Positioned between the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Spanish Synagogue, it offers a distinct visual anchor in a neighborhood rich with history. Since its unveiling in 2003, it has stood as an essential stop for literature fans and those interested in modern art, and its design mirrors the small bronze statues presented to winners of the international Franz Kafka Prize.
