Torrespaña is a 232 m (761.15 ft) high reinforced concrete freestanding broadcasting tower in Madrid, Spain. It is the central and main transmission node of the terrestrial television and radio networks in the country as well as the station that covers the city and its metropolitan area. National and regional television channels and radio stations broadcast from there. The tower, currently owned by Cellnex, is located in a depression at the Salamanca district near the M30 highway.
