Equestrian statue of Jan Žižka on St. Vitus Hill in Prague. I found the size very impressive.

Hiking

The national monument on Vítkov consists of a 9 m high and 16.5 tonne equestrian statue of Jan Žižka and a multi-storey hall of honour behind it, which is lined with marble on the inside and is 31 m high in total. The entire complex of the national monument is 143 m long and includes numerous underground rooms in the area of the equestrian statue and the hall of honour, which house, among other things, the tomb of the unknown soldier. The Žižka equestrian statue is considered to be one of the largest bronze statues in the world.
