Pécs TV Tower

Pécs TV Tower, Television tower on Misina peak, Pécs, Hungary.

Pécs TV Tower is a concrete structure rising from Misina peak, standing 197 meters high with viewing platforms and a dining space built into its frame. The construction accommodates visitors through different access routes, allowing people to experience the surrounding landscape and urban sprawl from various heights.

The tower was built between 1968 and 1972 on the site of the Kiss József lookout, a 24.6-metre structure from 1908 named after the Mecsek Association's secretary; a 70-metre steel antenna stood beside it from 1959 to 1968. The tower opened on 4 April 1973, the day New York's World Trade Center twin towers were inaugurated. An antenna replacement in 1995 raised it from 191 to 197 metres.

The tower is named after the Mecsek dinosaur Komlosaurus, nicknamed Medino in an online naming contest. From 2005 a free exhibition on the presszó level showed a 2 m life-sized reconstruction, plus the Mecsek relief model, rocks, fossil plants and coal and uranium mining relics; most objects could be touched. It closed in 2017.

A fast lift runs up the inner ring to the glass-walled espresso bar at 72 metres; the open observation terrace lies above it at 80 metres. The 459 steps wind between the inner and outer rings and are not the visitor route to the top. Bus 35 and 35Y leave from Pécs railway station for Misina peak.

The tower's top can sway up to half a metre in wind. Its 22-metre-wide, 3.5-metre-thick concrete foundation is reinforced with multiple layers of steel mesh. The structure consists of two concentric rings: an inner ring 5 metres in diameter rising to 135 metres, and an outer ring 12 metres in diameter reaching 92 metres.
