Torrespaña is a reinforced concrete broadcasting tower in Madrid, Spain, completed in 1982 to a design by Emilio Fernández Martínez de Velasco. Standing about 232 m tall, it is the central transmission node for the country's terrestrial television and radio networks and covers the city and its metropolitan area. It sits in a depression in the Salamanca district near the M30 highway, and at its foot is the television production centre housing the central news services of Televisión Española.
