The TV Tower Ruterra Studio entry is associated with Prague’s Žižkov Television Tower, a striking landmark with a steel-gray, futuristic design and giant crawling baby sculptures by Czech artist David Černý. Go for broad views across the city, or stay outside to look closely at the tower’s unusual structure. There is also a restaurant in the tower, where you can eat or have a drink while taking in the view. Its architecture is a sharp contrast with Prague’s traditional buildings, though its style is not for everyone.
A different outline on Prague’s skyline
The Žižkov Television Tower stands out from Prague’s traditional architecture. Its metallic, steel-gray form combines brutalist and sci-fi-inspired elements, with unusual pods that give the structure an appearance unlike the city’s older landmarks.
The tower was built in the 1980s as a broadcasting structure. Its design has drawn mixed reactions, but the distinctive outline is easy to spot from across the city. You can appreciate the structure from outside without going up.
The crawling baby sculptures
Czech artist David Černý’s giant baby sculptures crawl along the tower’s exterior. Their scale and placement add another striking detail to the building, and give visitors a reason to look closely rather than treating the tower as a distant feature of the skyline.
Inside, the tower has a restaurant where you can eat or have a drink while looking out over Prague. A visit at dusk brings the city views into focus as the light changes.
