Discover more about Torre de TV Digital

The Torre de TV Digital, or Digital TV Tower, is one of Brasília's more recent landmarks, having been inaugurated on April 21, 2012, coinciding with the city's 52nd anniversary. Affectionately nicknamed 'Flor do Cerrado' (Savannah Flower) due to its unique design resembling a flower, it was the last project designed by the renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer before his death. Standing at 182 meters tall, the tower serves as a crucial hub for distributing digital television signals throughout the Federal District and its surrounding areas. The structure is composed of a 120-meter reinforced concrete base, topped with a 50-meter metallic structure and a 12-meter antenna. Inside, visitors can find two observatories, one of which houses a restaurant offering panoramic views of the city. Beyond its functional purpose, the Torre de TV Digital has become a popular tourist destination, offering a 360-degree view of Brasília's unique urban layout and the surrounding Cerrado vegetation. The base of the tower often hosts entertainment and cultural events, with restaurants, stores, and cafes adding to the visitor experience. Although it has faced structural and maintenance challenges in the past, it remains a striking example of Niemeyer's architectural vision and a symbol of Brasília's modern identity.
