Masaryk Tower of Independence, Observation tower in Hořice, Czech Republic.
The Masaryk Tower of Independence stands 25 meters tall at an elevation of 408 meters above sea level on the ridge of Hořický chlum.
Architect František Blažek designed the tower, which was constructed between 1925 and 1938, with President T.G. Masaryk laying its foundation stone in 1926.
The monumental reliefs on the eastern and western wings of the tower depict scenes from Czechoslovak and international resistance movements during wartime.
The tower opens from May to September, with admission fees of 30 CZK for adults and 15 CZK for children, students, and senior citizens.
Sculptures created by Jan Vávra and Karel Lenhart adorn the tower, including the statue 'Legions Abroad' by František Duchač Vyskočil placed in front.
