history
The tower was built in 1985 and took over the transmission of radio and television programs, for which the old Sofia television tower located in the city area had been used until then . Like the old television tower, this tower was designed by the architect Lyuben Podponev in collaboration with Stefan Tilew. The engineer was Ivan Jantachtow.
