The Avala
Tower is a 204.5 m tall telecommunication tower located on Avala mountain near Belgrade. It was destroyed in during the
NATO bombing of 1999. On December 21,
2006, the reconstruction of Avala Tower began and the tower was officially
opened at a ceremony on April 21, 2010. It is currently the tallest tower in
Serbia and the Balkan region.
If I don’t change
the banner by the time you read this, the tower is visible there! Read more about and see the new version of the tower right here.
