Caltanissetta Transmitter Station, Radio transmission complex in Caltanissetta, Italy.
The transmission station spans across a hilltop location, featuring a 286-meter guyed mast structure that dominates the Sicilian landscape.
The facility, commissioned by RAI Radio in 1949, operated as a crucial broadcasting center until its closure in 2004 due to maintenance expenses.
This transmission station represented Italian technological advancement in the 1950s, serving as a primary communication hub for Southern Italy.
The municipality of Caltanissetta acquired the facility and surrounding land after its decommissioning, with intentions to transform it into a public park.
At the time of its completion in 1951, the antenna stood as Europe's tallest structure, reaching an elevation of 938 feet above ground level.
