Petřín is a hill in the center of Prague, Czech Republic. It rises 327 m above sea level and some 130 m above the left bank of the Vltava River. The hill, entirely covered with parks is a favorite recreational area for the inhabitants of Prague. The hill is allegedly called Petřín because of the large number of rocks. Petřín Lookout Tower is a steel-framework tower 63.5 metres (208 ft) tall on Petřín Hill in Prague, built in 1891, resembles the Eiffel Tower and was used as an observation as well as a transmission tower. Petřín Lookout Tower is often described as small version of Eiffel Tower. In contrast to the Eiffel Tower, Petřín Lookout Tower has an octagonal, not square, cross-section.
