In 2000 citizens of Prague saw a sculptural composition of huge (about 3.5 meters long) faceless babies on Zizkov TV tower. They creep at high altitude down and up the walls of this building. The appearance of these alien babies on a boring television tower has turned it into one of the most famous and popular objects of Prague.
One of the most popular day-trips is to the medieval silver-mining town of Kutná Hora, 60km to the east, which boasts a glorious Gothic cathedral and a macabre ossuary. Prague Castle Once the heart of the Holy Roman Empire, Prague Castle is home to the Czech president and crown jewels. Here, you'll find the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew (katedrála sv Bartolomeje), famous for its 100-meter-tall spire, the tallest in the Czech Republic, as well as the Renaissance Old Town Hall. Also of interest is the Great Synagogue, built in the 19th century and the third largest synagogue in the world. Another highlight of a visit to Plzen A short walk from the city’s largest square, Karlovo NámÄ›stĂ, on Resslova Street stands the Cathedral Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius, known informally by locals as the Parachutists Church m8bv.
