Tallinn TV Tower, Television tower in Kloostrimetsa, Estonia.
The concrete and metal structure rises to 314 meters, featuring an observation deck at 170 meters that provides views across Tallinn and beyond.
The tower opened in 1980 for the Moscow Olympics sailing events, later becoming a critical location during Estonia's 1991 defense against Soviet forces.
The exhibition space presents educational programs about Estonian broadcasting history and telecommunications development through interactive displays and guided tours.
Visitors reach the observation level via two elevators that complete the journey in 56 seconds, with the facility operating daily from 10:00 to 18:00.
The structure contains bullet marks at its base from the 1991 Soviet intervention, while the operators prevented access by disabling the elevator system.
