Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius is a famous (18th century) church in the center of Prague, where the Czech assassins of top-Nazi, Reinhard Heydrich, hid after the Operation Anthropoid and where they, after a fierce gun battle, reportedly committed suicide to avoid capture.[1],[2] Presently there is a museum dedicated to these national heroes.
