Memorial devoted to Jan Hus on the facade of the Bethlehem Chapel (Betlémská kaple) in Staré Město (Old Town) in Prague, Czech Republic. The memorial designed by Czech artists Adam Jirkal, Martin Papcún and Jerry Koza was unveiled in 2015 marking the 600th anniversary of the burning of the Czech reformer Jan Hus who was the preacher in the Bethlehem Chapel. Shadows of the horizontal elements of the memorial form the inscription 'Za pravdu' (For the Truth') on the wall. The inscription which was the motto of the Bohemian Reformation is visible during sunny days from May to July only.
