Probably the most unusual and monumental modern church, it dominates the big Jiřího z Poděbard Square. Among other things, the biggest tower clock of the country is located here. Built between 1928 and 1932 and designed by the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik. Candidate to get on UNESCO list. For modern architecture lovers, this is definitely a must! After visiting the church, you can buy something at the popular farmer's market nearby.
The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord is a Roman Catholic church at Jiřího z Poděbrad Square in Prague's Vinohrady district. It was built between 1929 and 1932 and designed by the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik. Plečnik found the inspiration for this construction in old Christian and ancient patterns. The Czech sculptor Damian Pešan (1887–1975) created statues of Christ and six Czech patron saints above the main altar, and he also designed the liturgical vessels.

Žižkovská televizní věž
Rumoured to have been intended by the communists to jam western radio signals (but not completed until 1992), the most hideous building in Prague offers spectacular views of the city. The cafe at the top is a great place to grab a coffee and enjoy the view. Look for the giant metallic alien babies added to the outside of tower, which have helped to soften critiques of the tower's harsh architecture.
Used since the late 18th century, when the well-known Old Jewish Cemetery in Old Town ceased to be used. One century later, the bigger New Cemetery was built (see above). Located right under the Žižkov TV Tower, more than half of the cemetery was destroyed.
An alternative club that often hosts international rock acts.
Gröbovka/Grébovka
A quiet little park with an interesting artificial cave building, "Grotta". A good relaxing place near the city center.
