About Yerevan TV Tower

Yerevan TV Tower is a 311.7-metre steel lattice tower built in 1977 on Nork Hill near downtown Yerevan. It is the tallest structure in Armenia and the fourth-tallest tower in Western Asia. In the late 1960s it was decided to replace the city's 180-metre TV tower, which no longer had enough capacity; construction of the new tower began in 1974 and took three years. The old tower was moved to Leninakan, today's Gyumri.

What's inside

The tower has three parts: base, body and antenna. Its base is a steel truss tetrahedron that becomes a closed observation deck and technical offices at 71 metres. The truss continues to 137 metres, where a two-storey, 18-metre structure shaped like an inverted truncated cone sits. The whole 1,900-tonne steel structure is painted white and international orange for air safety. In 2026 the tower received new architectural lighting that turns it into a dynamic media installation.
