Discover more about Torre de TV Digital

Rising from the Setor Habitacional Taquari in Lago Norte, the Torre de TV Digital is more than just a functional structure; it's a symbol of Brasília's modern architectural identity. Inaugurated in 2012, it serves as a digital television signal transmitter for the Federal District and surrounding areas. Locals affectionately call it the 'Flor do Cerrado' because its design resembles a flower native to the Brazilian savanna. Designed by the legendary Oscar Niemeyer, the tower embodies the Brasiliense architectural style, characterized by its modernist concrete and unique form. Standing at 182 meters tall, the tower features two glass cupolas and includes a restaurant and art gallery. Visitors can ascend to the observation deck for a 360-degree view of Brasília's iconic landmarks, lush parks, and intricate urban layout. The tower experienced structural and accessibility issues, which led to closures for renovations between 2013 and 2018. Visiting the Torre de TV Digital offers a privileged perspective of Brasília's planned cityscape and the surrounding Cerrado vegetation. The tower is easily accessible and provides a memorable experience, whether bathed in sunlight during the day or illuminated at night.
