Žižkovský Vysílač
Birds-eye view of Prague's Old Town as seen from the Pražský hrad (Prague Castle). The high-tech Žižkovský vysílač (Žižkov Television Tower) is visible in the background. Like many examples of communist-era architecture in Central and Eastern Europe, the TV tower used to be generally resented by the local inhabitants. Although official criticism during the time of its construction was impossible, unofficially the tower was lambasted for its 'megalomania' and its 'jarring' effect on the Prague skyline.
