The Frantisek Krizik Monument


Krizik (1847-1941) was an electrical engineer and inventor; the monument is a reminder that in the immediate vicinity he had his workshop, where he invented an electric arc lamp, the so-called "Plzen Lamp".

The monument opposite the Continental Hotel is the work of A. Holub and S. Kukral from 1936.
