Palach Club Street Art, Rijeka

Palach Club was founded in 1968 by the Rijeka Student Organization. It was named after Jan Palach, a student at Charles University in Prague.

In protest at the ending of the Prague Spring uprising, he committed suicide by self-immolation. His memory lives on in Rijeka.
