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.
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.
Kostel Nejsvětějšího Srdce Páně
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.
Armádní muzeum
Showcases the uniforms, weapons, artifacts, and maps relating to the Czechoslovak armed forces during World Wars I and II. Interactive exhibitions on the World Wars from the Czechoslovakian perspective. Free entrance. Not recommended for young children due to shocking content (war crimes among others).
Národní památník na Vítkově
"Žižkov Monument", located at the top of Vítkov Hill. This immense equestrian statue was erected in 1950 to commemorate the Czech national hero Jan Žižka, who fought his most famous battle on this site and later had the hill and the neighbouring city renamed after himself. The scale of the monument is impressive enough, but the views of Žižkov (and the rest of Prague) from the top of the hill really make the climb worthwhile.
