Belgorod Tower, Television tower in Belgorod, Russia
The Belgorod Tower is a 220.875-metre steel lattice television tower of standard design 34084 KM, standing on Prospekt Vatutina. It is the tallest structure in Belgorod and ranks twelfth among Russian towers by height. A transmitter of 5500 W handles digital broadcasting, and a lift serves a viewing platform at 50 metres.
The present tower is the fourth in the city's broadcasting history. A 20-metre wooden relay mast went up in 1956, a 75-metre steel tower a year later, and a 160-metre guyed mast in the 1960s. That mast was declared unsafe in the mid-1990s; work on the 220-metre replacement began in 2001, stalled after the first section in 2002, resumed when digital broadcasting planning included it in 2010, and the tower entered service on 13 August 2013.
The tower serves as a central point for transmitting regional news, entertainment programs, and radio signals to the population of Belgorod Oblast.
The tower stands on Prospekt Vatutina. A special lift serves the observation deck at a height of 50 metres. At night, separately controlled LED colour changers illuminate the steel lattice.
