The Zizkov Tower, or the Prague TV Tower, is located in Mahlerovy sady, Zizkov, Prague. Undoubtedly the prominent landmark of Zizkov, the tower is a distinctive transmitter tower constructed in Prague between 1985 and 1992. It is situated atop a hill in the neighbourhood of Zizkov, from which it derives its name, and rises high over the city's traditional skyline. It is 216 meters tall, designed by the structural engineer Ji Kozák and architect Václav Aulick.
An excellent example of high-tech engineering, the tower follows a unique design, resembling a tripod with balconies. The tower is beautified with numerous sculptures and artistic motifs. Visitors can watch an informative movie on the history of the Zizkov Television Tower, from its inception to today, in one of the three cabins of different themes on the Observatory floor. In addition, the tower houses a restaurant and a fancy one-room motel.
