Yerevan TV Tower, Television tower on Nork Hill, Yerevan, Armenia.
The Yerevan TV Tower is a television tower on Nork Hill standing 311.7 meters tall with a distinctive white and orange steel lattice structure. The structure comprises three main sections: base, body, and antenna, which together form the tower's characteristic profile against the skyline.
The tower was constructed between 1974 and 1977 to replace an older 180-meter structure, with steel components sourced from the Rustavi Metallurgical Plant in Georgia. This replacement marked an important upgrade to the region's broadcasting infrastructure.
The tower has become a recognizable landmark visible from many parts of the city, serving as an orientation point for residents navigating the urban landscape. Its distinctive white and orange steel lattice structure creates a visual anchor in the skyline that locals and visitors easily recognize.
The tower sits on Nork Hill and is accessible from various parts of the city, though pedestrian access may be limited depending on the area. Checking ahead about visiting hours before planning a trip is advisable, as availability can vary seasonally.
The tower was originally closed to visitors but was later partially opened for tourism, marking a shift in how the structure is viewed by the public. This change allowed people to experience the city from a completely different vantage point.
