Minsk TV tower, Television tower in Central District, Minsk, Belarus.

The Minsk TV Tower extends 180 meters into the sky with a metal lattice structure that provides television and radio broadcasting capabilities across the region.

Built between 1954 and 1956, the tower marked the beginning of modern broadcasting in Belarus during the post-World War II reconstruction period.

The tower transmitted its first color television broadcast on October 6, 1967, when only five color TV sets existed in the entire city of Minsk.

The tower includes an observation platform at 160 meters, featuring eight antennas that support the regional radiotelephone communication network.

In 1976, a specialized MI-10K helicopter removed the top 40-meter section of the tower, reducing its height to accommodate a new antenna platform.
