Yebes Observatory, Radio astronomy research center in Yebes, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
The observatory contains two radio telescopes, including a 40-meter antenna that operates within the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network at 931 meters altitude.
Construction of the facility occurred between 1999 and 2007, with the German company MAN Technologie leading the development of the main telescope structure.
