Minsk TV tower
Belarus
The 126th tallest tower in the world
The Minsk TV tower is a TV tower located in Minsk, Belarus. It is a recognizable landmark of the capital city located near the Victory Square, Minsk. Its initial height was about 200m, however in July 1976 its top part of 40m was cut off and replaced with a platform with eight antennas. The new height is 170m. This reconstruction was done to the fact that the main TV/radio broadcasting functions were passed to the newly built 350metre tall Kolodischi TV Mast some 15 km off Minsk. The new design was to support radiotelephone communications network.
