Jested Telecommunications Tower and Hotel - Cold War Modern

Designed in 1963, the hotel and telecommunications tower on top of Ještěd mountain are one of the
most extraordinary architectural achievements of the entire Eastern Bloc. A piece of bravura engineering on a very difficult site, the cone-shaped tower continues the profile of the mountain to a perfect vertical point. The theme of space travel is reinforced by decorative meteorites set into the
concrete core inside.
