Vyšehrad is not only an exceptional historical site, but also a lively city park visited by thousands of people every day. In addition to its well-known landmarks, it also features smaller monuments—statues, crosses, chapels, and wells—which contribute to its unique character. However, these monuments are subject to the ravages of time and require regular care and restoration.
By contributing to the public collection, you are helping to preserve this irreplaceable cultural layer of Vyšehrad.

RESTORED MONUMENTS
Gate to the Acropolis
The gate is a remnant of the Vyšehrad armory, which burned down in 1927. The stone portals, decorated with Austrian eagles, were moved to the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul in 1934 and joined together back-to-back. The stone gate was restored in 2025.
Cross above the Brick Gate
A wooden cross with a figure of Jesus Christ was erected above the staircase at the Brick Gate around 1870. Over the years, it has changed its appearance several times, and in the 1990s, its metal parts were stolen. A replica of the cross was made in 2023 based on period photographs in cooperation with the Royal Collegiate Chapter of St. Peter and Paul at Vyšehrad.
Monument to St. Wenceslas
The equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas, created in 1680 by sculptor Jan Jiří Bendl as part of a fountain on Wenceslas Square, was moved to Štulcovy sady Park in Vyšehrad in 1879. Today, a copy of the statue stands in its place. The restoration of the statue and reconstruction of its metal accessories took place in 2022 in cooperation with the Prague City Gallery.
Wayside shrine
The inconspicuous wayside shrine near St. Martin's Rotunda dates back to the last third of the 17th century. Its restoration, completed with a ceremonial blessing, took place in 2021. The restoration also included mosaics depicting Czech saints – St. Wenceslas, St. Adalbert, St. Ludmila, and St. Prokop.
