Rostov TV tower

Rostov TV tower is a broadcasting structure that rises 195 meters high with alternating red and white painted sections mounted on four concrete base supports. The facility sits on Barrikadnaya Street in the railway district and serves as a signal transmission hub for the surrounding region.

Construction began in 1956 and the tower started broadcasting television programs in 1958, establishing the region's first regular media service. This launch shaped how people in the area received news and entertainment for decades to follow.

The tower serves as a central media distribution point for over 2.2 million residents in the Rostov region, including cities like Bataysk and Azov.

The tower's exterior surfaces are coated with fluorescent paint and lit by laser LED lights at night, making it visible from various points across the city. The structure is not open to visitors as it remains an active broadcast facility with restricted access for safety reasons.
