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 is a working broadcasting structure on Nork Hill, not a visitor attraction: its 71-metre platform holds technical offices and radio antennas, and the lift shaft runs inside a 4.2-metre concrete pipe. It is best seen from the streets below, where the white and international orange paint stands out against the wooded hill.
The tower's steel came from the Rustavi Metallurgical Plant in Georgia, and the same design team of Isaak Zatulovsky, Anatoli Perelmuter, Mark Grinberg, Yuri Shevernitsky and Boris But also worked on the Tbilisi and Kyiv towers. The old 180-metre Yerevan tower was moved to Leninakan, today's Gyumri, where it still operates.
