We live just a few city blocks from the Ziskov tower, a Prague landmark.
Sometimes we would be in the Metro (subway) for what seemed the better part of an hour as we changed lines and waited for the next train. Then as we emerged above ground and looked up–there was the tower, not far away at all. Anywhere in the city we could always get our bearings by looking for the tower.
One of posts will have more about the history and art work at the tower. When I find it I will link it here. Notice that the blue sky in the header photo was taken on a winter day after a heavy snow fall.
This is an artist’s rendering of a proposed 1 room hotel to be built into the tower as part of a re-design. A truly unique experience they say. Read the whole article which gives some of the history of the tower including an interview of its designer at Communist landmark goes luxe
Nov 2011 Update: I have had problems with my template so I am trying a new one. The current header photo is from the top of the Old Town Clock Tower taken by Ben Taylor.
