Brasilia Digital TV Tower, Television tower in Lago Norte, Brazil.
The Brasilia Digital TV Tower in Lago Norte is a 224-meter concrete and steel structure with two petal-shaped observation decks extending from a central stem. The broadcasting facility includes viewing platforms and additional public spaces offering perspectives of the capital.
The building was completed in 2012 as Oscar Niemeyer's final architectural work before his death at 104 years old. It represents the conclusion of a career that fundamentally shaped Brasília's appearance.
The structure became a symbol of Brasília's identity as a city shaped by visionary architecture and design. People see it as part of the capital's larger story as a purposefully planned modern place.
Both observation decks are accessible to visitors, with the upper platform at 80 meters height featuring a restaurant with city views. Arriving early helps ensure better visibility and a more comfortable experience while exploring the space.
Many locals call this tower the Cerrado Flower because its two circular platforms resemble leaves from the Brazilian savanna plant. This nickname reflects how residents have adopted the building as a distinctive landmark.
