list of towers

Towers by height

This page currently lists the top 58 towers. As a non-technical definition, the term tower describes structures having limited floor space as compared to more regular buildings. They are usually used for communications (large antenna), and often have a few floors for a observation deck or restaurant, but not continuous floors below. They operate in a niche between traditional skyscrapers and other extremely tall structures like guyed masts. They tend to offer the usefulness of unmanned TV and radio masts but with the added appeal of some high floor space for a observation deck or restaurant like many skyscrapers. Their low-floor space compared to a traditional building and higher cost compared to a mast, does offers some drawbacks however. Towers are also built for a few other purposes as well, such as for air traffic control or as a monument. Note: list not guaranteed to be accurate or up to date, and includes structures traditionally thought of as a tower, although towers with guylines for their main structure or antenna are currently included. (for a masts listing see List of masts)
Note: includes up to 2004, this list ranked by pinnacle.
