Jan Palach Square (Czech: Náměstí Jana Palacha) is a town square in the Old Town of Prague. It is located on right bank of the Vltava River next to the former Jewish Quarter. Unlike other squares in the Old Town, Jan Palach Square was created at the end of 19th century, making it one of the newest ones. Jan Palach was a student at Charles University who immolated himself in Wenceslas Square during the protests surrounding the Prague Spring.
