If someone in Prague tells you to meet "at the horse", you can be certain that at the time in question you need to be at the statue of Saint Wenceslas, at the top of the square of the same name, commonly known as Wenceslas Square. Here you'll find everyone from lovers holding flowers, to friends, students, and businessmen with briefcases at the most popular meeting point in Prague. The area around the statue, the work of Josef Václav Myslbek in 1912, has been a focal point through the years for gatherings of the Czech people in times of crisis and celebration alike. From his horse, St. Wenceslas has been a silent witness to many a national event.
