Ještěd Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ještěd Tower is a 94 metre-tall tower used to transmit television signal built on the top of Ještěd mountain near Liberec in the Czech Republic.
Ještěd Tower is a reinforced concrete construction with a shape called hyperboloid of revolution (the shape intends to resemble a cosmic ship), built between 1963 and 1968. Its architect was Karel Hubáček. In the Tower's lowest sections it contains a hotel and a tower restaurant. It serves as a dominant attraction in the city and as a place to oversee much of Bohemia and parts of Poland and Germany.
