About the Kyiv TV Tower
Ukraine's tallest structure is the Kyiv TV Tower, a lattice metal tower 385 m high (1,263 ft) on Oranzhereina Street in Kyiv. It dates from 1973, when Kyiv served as the capital of the Ukrainian SSR. Radio and television broadcasts come from it, and visitors cannot go inside. It ranks as the world's second tallest lattice tower and Europe's sixth tallest standing structure.
Moscow, then the Soviet capital, was the tower's first intended home, but its authorities preferred a more solid design, which became the Ostankino Tower. Kyiv later revived the project for its own tower. To keep it below Moscow's height, the Soviet government had the engineers shorten the tower by almost 30 percent. Building took place between 1968 and 1973, at a cost of about $12 million.
Steel pipe in various diameters and thicknesses forms the structure, which weighs 2,700 metric tons. A central core 4 meters (13 ft) across holds the elevator and is built from pipe 12 mm thick. The tower rests on a four-legged base about 100 meters (330 ft) tall, and enclosed equipment levels sit higher up. Rivets and other mechanical fasteners are absent: every joint, pipe and fixture is welded, and it was the world's first fully welded tower.
About this model
The Kyiv TV Tower is one of more than 4,900 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
