Arneiro towers, Radio communication station in Cospeito, Spain.

The Arneiro towers contain three antenna structures reaching 112 meters in height, positioned strategically for maximum signal coverage across the region.

Built by German forces in 1942, these towers formed part of the Elektra-Sonne positioning system used for naval and aerial operations during World War II.

The towers became a center for radio enthusiasts who restored the equipment to establish global communications and maintain the technical heritage.

The transmission range extended up to one thousand nautical miles, covering large areas of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea for maritime navigation.

In January 2009, strong winds caused two of the three remaining towers to collapse, leading to changes in preservation plans.
