Iriški Venac TV Tower, Television tower in Fruška Gora, Serbia.
Iriski Venac TV Tower is a 170-meter-high concrete structure featuring two basket sections mounted on a central shaft and equipped with antennas for radio and television transmission. The installation sits on a mountain near Novi Sad and once served as a major broadcasting facility for the region.
The tower was built in 1975 as part of Yugoslavia's broadcasting infrastructure network. It suffered severe damage from airstrikes in 1999 but its basic structure remained standing, making it a physical witness to that period of conflict.
The tower sits on Iriski Venac mountain and remains visible from many points across the surrounding region. Locals recognize it as a landmark of the area, standing as a reminder of the region's communication infrastructure from past decades.
Visitors can find the tower on a hillside near Novi Sad, accessible from several routes in the surrounding area. The location is best visited during daylight when visibility is clear, allowing you to see the full structure and panoramic views from the site.
The tower was designed by architect Gliša Stajić with two distinct basket sections, making it recognizable from considerable distances across the landscape. This unusual dual-basket design sets it apart from other broadcasting towers in the region.
