Description
After the publication of Lookouts, which mapped buildings specifically constructed for tourists for the purpose of views, a book dedicated to towers is coming, that is, buildings that were created for other purposes – as decoration, a landmark, an industrial structure, a showcase of architectural mastery, or pragmatically as a place from which a town crier or night watchman observed the city from above. Pavel Gejdoš, co-founder of the Friends of Lookouts Club, has carefully selected 405 of the most interesting, beautiful, and accessible towers in our country. You can take his book as an encyclopedic overview, but also as an invitation to stroll through the history or picturesque landscape of our country. At each tower, you will find: • GPS coordinates • transport connections • information about opening hours • what you can see from the tower • the history of the building • technical data.
