The Tbilisi TV Broadcasting Tower is a steel communications tower that provides television and radio broadcasting services to Tbilisi and surrounding areas. It is sited on a ridge overlooking the city and is a prominent element of the skyline.
The tower itself is primarily a technical installation, but its hilltop location creates widely used viewpoints over central Tbilisi. Photographers and visitors often use nearby park and lookout areas to obtain panoramic city views.
The tower was erected during the Soviet period in the 20th century to consolidate television and radio transmission for the region. It has remained the principal broadcast mast for the city since that time.
Perched on a ridge above central Tbilisi near the Mtatsminda area, the tower overlooks the city and the Kura (Mtkvari) River valley.
