Facts and practical information

The Kharkiv TV Tower, a remarkable structure that punctuates the skyline of Kharkiv, Ukraine, stands as a testament to Soviet-era engineering and design. This steel lattice television tower, reaching a height of 192.2 meters, was constructed in 1952 and remains one of the tallest structures in the city.

The tower's architectural style reflects the industrial and functional aesthetic that was prevalent during the period of its construction. It is characterized by its minimalistic appearance, with no ornamental features, emphasizing its utilitarian purpose. Unlike many towers designed for public access, the Kharkiv TV Tower does not have observation decks or restaurants, as its primary purpose has always been telecommunication.

Despite its lack of tourist facilities, the tower is sometimes illuminated during special events, contributing to the city's nightscape and marking significant occasions. Its resilience and continued operation are symbols of the city's enduring spirit, especially in the light of recent events that have affected Ukraine.
