The Žižkov Television Tower is a striking and modernist telecommunications and observation tower located in the Žižkov district of Prague, Czech Republic. Completed in 1992, the tower stands at 216 meters (709 feet) tall, making it the tallest structure in Prague. Designed by architect Václav Aulický and structural engineer Jiří Kozák, the tower is notable for its futuristic design and the unique sculptures of crawling babies created by artist David Černý, which were added in 2000. The tower features observation decks that provide panoramic views of the city, as well as a restaurant and a luxury one-room hotel.
