TV tower in Budapest, Broadcasting facility on Széchenyi Hill, Budapest, Hungary.
The steel tower stretches 192 meters into the sky, with a main structure of 175 meters and a 17-meter antenna on top.
Construction began in 1956 with a 60-meter broadcasting tower, which was later replaced by the current structure in 1975 to meet growing transmission demands.
The tower marks the beginning of television broadcasting in Hungary, transmitting the first experimental TV signals in Budapest during the 1950s.
Multiple radio stations, including Rádió 1, Petőfi Rádió, and Kossuth Rádió, transmit their programs through this communication facility on various frequencies.
The tower underwent a complete transformation from analog to digital broadcasting in 2011, ending a 53-year period of traditional transmission methods.
