Located in Lago Norte, Brasília, the Digital TV Tower is a 182-meter broadcast structure completed in 2012 as one of the final designs by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Known locally as the "Flor do Cerrado" (Cerrado flower), the tower transmits digital television signals across the Federal District and surrounding regions. Its composition combines a 120-meter reinforced concrete shaft with a 50-meter metallic superstructure and 12-meter antenna. The main building houses two observatories: the upper one, positioned 80 meters above ground, features a panoramic restaurant, while the lower serves as an art gallery. Originally planned to commemorate Brasília's 50th anniversary in 2010, the tower was ultimately inaugurated two years later at a cost of R$75 million.
