The National Memorial on Vítkov Hill, Prague
The bronze doors installed by the communist party in the 1950s depicting various scenes in Czech history from medieval times up to WWII and the communist period.

The National Memorial complex was originally constructed in the 1920s/30s to honour World War I Czechoslovak legionaries. After 1948, it was used to promote the Communist regime and altered by them. Between 1953 and 1962 it housed the embalmed body of communist Czechoslovakia's first communist president, Klement Gottwald. The building is now part of the National Museum and is an interesting place to visit. There are also great views from the top of the building.
