      Renewal of Marian column starts in Prague centre

      Renewal of Marian column starts in Prague centre

      Academic sculptor Petr Vana and his aides started the renewal of the Column of Virgin Mary, a copy of the original 17th-century baroque sculpture destroyed by a mob in 1918, in Old Town Square in Prague's centre, but had to interrupt the works today, on Wednesday, May 29, 2019. Vana and his team removed the cobblestones revealing a plaque commemorating the original column location. Archaeologists are reportedly to participate in the works. The seven-square-metre building site was fenced. The column has a valid building permit that will expire soon, which made the team start working, Vana told a CTK reporter. However, he has not arranged the necessary permission to occupy the site, and thus he committed a misdemeanour. This is why the team has to return the site into the original shape by 18:00. Vana said he would do so and get the necessary permits later. (CTK Photo/Michal Kamaryt)
