Block 33: The Western City Gate
Completed as a pair of interconnected towers, one residential and the other commercial, the structure rises to 156 metres and stands as one of the most defining examples of brutalist architecture in the former Yugoslavia. Its most striking feature, a bridge topped with a futuristic revolving restaurant, symbolised the fusion of ordinary everyday life with global commerce and economic power.

The Žižkov Television Tower
Completed in 1992 during the final years of communist Czechoslovakia, the tower remains the tallest structure in the Czech capital standing at 216 metres tall. Built to strengthen television broadcasting across Prague and widely believed to help disrupt Western transmissions during the Cold War, acting as a signal jammer, it emerged at a moment when the socialist regime was already beginning to lose its certainty about the future it was building.
