I believe that most of you do not know that Serbia has such a beautiful tower.
Just to explain to you at the beginning, Avala is a mountain 17 km southeast of Belgrade. The peak of the Avala Mountain is 511 meters above sea level.
This tower is actually a replica of the old one. The old one it was destroyed during the NATO bombing of Serbia on the night of 29th April 1999 at 22:40pm
It started construction in 2007 and was completed in 2009. Including the antenna mast, it is 204.68 meters high (2 meters higher than the original one)
The Avala Tower is the masterpiece of Serbian architecture, the Belgrade guard
The viewing platform is at tower level 122 or 445 above the center of Belgrade. one floor below, at level 119 there is a tower cafe.
This is one the most important telecommunication facilities in Serbia and one of the most modern in Europe.
25th of May 2015 broadcasting of digital television programs for 2.5 million citizens of belgrade and its surrounding officially began.
Look at the video I uploaded, I know you'll like it

I watched the video. I would love to visit that place and enjoy the view.
We used to have a tall tower called they the Odin tower. It was destroyed during the Second World War, unfortunately it has never been rebuilt.

@LowRiderX I like the idea of the changing colors at night. Maybe I will get the chance to visit it one day

@Porcospino I'm glad you liked it.
We only have this one, and it's really beautiful because it's visible from a great distance, it's changing colors at night and one of the attractions that tourists visit, during the spring and summer at the subjacent of the tower, people make barbecue and spend a day in the nature with their family ... the ideal place to escape from the city's heat in nature

@DianneN From above is a beautiful view when it's clear weather and you can see it from a great distance. But at night it changes color

@LowRiderX we grow up seeing some things that we will always associate to our childhood and end up becoming part of our identity.

@nela13 Exactly! I live near the Tower, a few kilometers away. And I'm used to seeing him whenever I go. I'm pretty surprised you're still awake, how is that possible?

@nela13 I'm glad you watched this video and you liked it. Thank you! I am very happy that it was rebuilt because it is somehow proud of Belgrade since I know myself ... while I was a child

@LowRiderX Do not feel bad. My native Panama seldom made any news headlines outside o political clashes when the Panama Canal was under U S control from 1903-1999. Your nation has a lot of beauty that needs to be seen worldwide.
