This is the Zizkov TV Tower that the communists built starting in 1984. Some Czechs think it's futuristic, but many just find it ugly... It's apparently got some great views, though, and the little things crawling on the outside are a piece of art by David Cerny called "Babies" - they're creepy, slot-faced metal babies crawling up and down the sides of it. I walked past this every day to go to Martin's studio to do my carving - interesting, at least!
