Baku TV Tower, Television tower in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The Baku TV Tower is a free-standing reinforced concrete telecommunications tower 310 metres tall, the tallest reinforced concrete building in the Caucasus. Its rotating restaurant opened in 2008 on the 62nd floor at 175 metres. The tower is a regular establishing shot in films set in Baku.

The tower was designed by the State Design Institute of the USSR Ministry of Communications under a Council of Ministers decree, and construction began in 1979 with a planned 1985 completion. Work halted, then resumed after Heydar Aliyev returned to power in 1993; he attended the official opening on 6 July 1996.

The tower appears in the establishing shots of films set in Baku, which made it a familiar silhouette to cinema audiences. Since 2004 its lighting has been rearranged each New Year, and on national holidays sections are lit blue, red and green in the colours of the Azerbaijani flag.

The rotating restaurant sits at 175 metres, on the 62nd floor, and opened in 2008. The tower stands 310 metres tall, or 480 metres above Caspian sea level, so the upper level is reached by lift rather than stairs. Evening visits coincide with the exterior lighting displays switched on for holidays and New Year.

The tower's exterior lighting system shifts colors during national holidays, creating patterns that brighten the night sky above the city. These dynamic displays turn the structure into a visual anchor for celebrations visible from neighborhoods throughout Baku.
