Zizkov Television Tower - Žižkovská věž - with "Babies" (Miminka) sculptures by David Cerny on a misty day; Žižkov TV Tower in Mahlerovy sady, Prague
The Žižkov Television Tower (Czech: Žižkovský vysílač) is a unique transmitter tower built in Prague between 1985 and 1992. Designed by the architect Václav Aulický and the structural engineer Jiří Kozák it is the tallest structure (216 metres/709 feet) in the city. It stands high above the city's traditional skyline from its position on top of a hill in the district of Žižkov, from which it takes its name. The tower is an example of high-tech architecture. In 2000, ten fiberglass sculptures by Czech artist David Černý called "Miminka" (Babies), were attached to the tower.
