This bust was revealed in 1920 at the festive moment of the 250th anniversary of Komenský's death, which meant more than just honoring the monument; It was a statement about the lasting impact of his ideas on world education. Originally, this falcon served as a base for the bust of emperor Franz Joseph, which adds another layer to the history of this place - it combines the Czech educational heritage with the history of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring brings awakening nature and soft, soft light, which beautifully highlights the details of the statue. The atmosphere is fresh and full of new energy. It is ideal to visit the morning when the air is the cleanest. Wear layered clothes because the morning temperatures can still be cold.
In the summer, the surroundings are well green and the sun is very bright. A sharp noon light can create deep shadows on the face of the monument. I suggest you come early in the morning to avoid the greatest heat and sudden groups of visitors. Remember light clothes and sun protection.
Autumn offers a colourful spectacle thanks to golden leaves and often foggy, nostalgic atmosphere. The afternoon sun is low in this period and creates very pleasant lighting for the observation of art. Prepare for changing weather and wear a waterproof jacket and tight shoes in case of rain.
Winter moons cover the memory with peace and white scenery. The light is weak and the days are short, so it is best to come around noon. Due to the cold and wind in this area it is necessary to have very warm clothes, including hat and gloves to make the visit pleasant.
