Statue of Youth

The statue of Youth is located in Prague Castle next to the Toy Museum, in the old part of Prague. This monument to a naked boy holds many stories about his origin and destiny. There is also a belief that touching the monument will bring happiness and love.

Some believe that it is a symbol of democracy, others believe that the statue is a representation of children’s spontaneity and craving for everything new. When the architect was asked what the meaning of this sculpture was, the architect simply shrugged his hands and replied: “Nothing.”

Of course, it was not without belief. Many tourists touch, expecting that it will bring happiness and unearthly love. Maybe that's true. In any case, you should go to Prague, admire the statue and try your luck.
