A Czech hedgehog, or tank stopper, located outside the National Museum of Contemporary History, Tivoli Park.
"The Czech hedgehog (Czech: rozsochác or ježek) is a static anti-tank obstacle defense made of metal angle beams or I-beams (that is, lengths with an L- or H-shaped cross section). The hedgehog is very effective in keeping tanks from getting through a line of defense. It maintains its function even when tipped over by a nearby explosion. Although it may provide some scant cover for infantry, infantry forces are generally much less effective against fortified defensive positions than mechanized units."
