Avala Tower

Avala Tower
About

Avala Tower, perched atop Mount Avala just south of Belgrade, is Serbia’s tallest structure and a symbol of national resilience. Originally completed in 1965, the tower was destroyed during the NATO bombing in 1999 and later rebuilt to its original design, reopening in 2010. Standing at 204.68 meters, it features a unique tripod base and an equilateral triangular cross-section, making it an architectural rarity. The observation deck offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and the distant city skyline. Today, Avala Tower functions as both a telecommunications hub and a popular tourist destination, complete with a café, souvenir shop, and landscaped park. The site also includes a monument to the Unknown Hero, adding historical depth to the visit. Easily accessible from Belgrade, the tower draws thousands of visitors annually who come to admire its Brutalist design and panoramic vistas. Avala Tower is more than an engineering feat—it’s a cultural landmark that embodies Serbia’s enduring spirit.
