Ješted Tower is a reinforced concrete construction with a shape called hyperboloid of revolution (the shape intends to resemble a cosmic ship), built between 1963-1968. Its architect was Karel Hubácek and for this project he was awarded by a prestigious Auguste Perret prize for outstanding architectural work. 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.
