The Kafka Monument is located in the park between the Spanish Synagogue and St. Spirit Christ Church. It is a bronze statue monument made by the Czech government to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the birth of Franz Kafka. The area where the bronze statue is located is a mixed area of Judaism, Catholicism and Protestantism. The bronze statue is 3.75 meters high and was created by the Czech sculptor Jaroslav Rona. Its unique shape can see Kafka riding on the shoulders of a headless man, which has a very strong visual sense. The creation of the bronze statue was inspired by Kafka's novel "A Battle Documentary". When you arrive at the Kafka Monument, it is recommended that you visit the former residence of Kafka, which is not far from the bronze statue. The former residence is located at No. 27 Dušní Street.

Just next to the old town square, I don't know if I don't pay attention to it. The statue contains the concept of Kafka's pursuit. All people who pass by will punch in and take pictures. The shoes of the bronze statue have to be polished and shiny.
The monument is creative enough, saying that the sculptor Yaroslav Rona was inspired by Kafka’s work, and that it reflects the “confrontation” between Kafka and his father...Can you accept this understanding? "His main character is jealous of a traveler, climbing over his shoulder to see the world through different eyes. His jealousy of strangers disappears when he finds everyone has their own burden." In short, the sculpture is successful and carries a weighty literary award, the Kafka Prize The trophy also uses this image directly. The monument is right next to the Spanish synagogue in the Jewish Quarter (inside is the Jewish Museum).
Really good, worth a visit, recommended by flying car map
It's worthwhile to go. It's a pilgrimage. It's the place to follow Kafra. Because his works are written in German, it is very important for the readers of the German-speaking area to be affected. When they go, many young people look at the bronze statue and listen to the teacher's briefing on Kafra's deeds. Then they line up in an orderly manner and touch the foot of the bronze statue, which means to follow his footsteps. So the two feet of the bronze statue are already shining.
The Kafka Monument is a unique bronze statue located in the Jewish District of Prague. It is said that the inspiration for the creation comes from Kafka's novel "Description of a Struggle". The head of the statue is Kafka, and the head below is his father. It can be seen that Kafka is very entangled with his father's feelings.
