Arneiro towers, Radio communication station in Cospeito, Spain.
Arneiro towers is a radio communication station in Galicia featuring multiple antenna structures built to broadcast and receive signals across vast distances. The installation consists of tall metal frameworks that dominate the surrounding landscape.
Built in 1942 by German forces as part of military navigation systems, the station remained in operation for civilian radio purposes after the war. For decades it played a role in international communication networks before gradually losing importance.
The towers became a center for radio enthusiasts who restored the equipment to establish global communications and maintain the technical heritage.
The site is open to visit, though some structures are damaged or at risk of collapse, so visitors should exercise caution. It is recommended to view and photograph the installation from outside, especially during windy conditions.
In January 2009, a powerful storm brought down two of the three remaining towers, dramatically changing the fate of the installation. Today the ruins stand as evidence of how vulnerable even these massive structures can be.
