The House of Suicide and the House of Mother Suicide is the works of art on the border of sculptures and buildings of American architect John Hejduk. They are dedicated to Jan Palach, who burned himself on 16 January 1969 in the upper part of Prague's Wenceslas Square in Prague. Inspired Hejduk became a poem David Shapiro entitled Jan Palach Funeral from 1969. For the first time, a group of students of Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta under the leadership of James Wiliamson realized sculptures and placed them in the Hall of Institute. In September 1991, during his visit to Prague, John Hejduk donated sculptures to President Václav Havel and the Czechoslovak people. Their wooden mock -ups were built at Prague Castle on that occasion, from where they were removed after 2000. Since then, several times have been considered to be the definitive placement of sculptures, for example in the Czech Technical University in Prague 6. They were finally made from steel in 2015 and located in Prague's Alšovo nábřeží. The edge of the square ground plan of both buildings has a length of 2.7 meters, the height including tips is 7.3 meters. The ceremonial unveiling took place on 16 January 2016 in the presence of Hejduk's daughter Renata.

The Lesser Town Bridge Towers are two Prague towers of different styles, of unequal height, forming the entrance from the Charles Bridge to the Lesser Town on the Royal Route at the beginning of Mostecká Street. Medieval bridges were usually fitted with a tower at each end. However, Charles Bridge has two towers on the Lesser Town bank, connected by a large Gothic gate. The lower tower is called Judith's Tower and is older than the Charles Bridge, while the higher tower was built after its completion. Towers with gates formed an important part of the Lesser Town fortifications at the time when the Lesser Town of Prague - today's Lesser Town - was an independent territory. In the event of an invasion by foreign troops, an armed garrison could take refuge in the towers, preventing the enemy from crossing the bridge. But even in peaceful times, armed guards made it clear to those entering that they would not tolerate any riots.
