Attention, please:

This is an additional entry due to an unusual event: children attacked the TV tower!

Read on – it is interesting!

“In socialist times, TV towers became symbols of modernity, and dominating the landscape of the most important cities of the Eastern Bloc, also their showpieces. This was the case in Berlin, Bratislava.

Prague joined the ideological and technological race relatively late, because it was only in 1985. The construction of the television transmitter in the Vinohrady district in Żiżków ended in another era, in 1992. It is no wonder that the Prague construction distances the competition with technical solutions. Weighing 12 thousand. tonnes, the tower was set on a concrete foundation 30 m in diameter, 4 m thick, dug 15 m into the ground. It consists of three cylindrical tubes 130 meters high, but with an antenna for radio and TV stations, it is 216 meters high. It is the tallest building in Prague, and also an excellent vantage point. From the glass windows of the floor, 96 meters above the ground, there is an all-round panorama. Mobile operators also use the devices installed on the tower. The air condition is monitored.

In 2000, when Prague was the capital of European culture, there was an invasion of babies. Babies crawling on the tower were created by the most famous contemporary Czech artist, David Černý. (Kafka's head). A native of Prague, a sculptor whose installations always arouse heated discussions and become icons of Czech culture and symbols of the capital city.

The black-skinned babies from the tower attract the attention of visitors, contrasting with its concrete gray. There are 10 of them and most of the guests like them, because as one of the reviewers put it: "The TV tower is quite disgusting in itself (always in the ten ugliest buildings in the world), but David Černý's little crawling children changed its shameful appearance into something that makes your head dizzy. " Looking at them from the ground, it is difficult to judge the size of the baby figures. We will find out how big they are when walking around Kampa, an island on the Vltava, where their three twins are crawling on the lawn."

 So, what do you say?

Here you can see that it is possible to turn something ugly into a tourist attraction and beyond.
