Milad Tower, also known as the Tehran Tower, is a multi-purpose tower in Tehran, Iran. Milad Tower became a new symbol of Tehran right after its construction. It is a multipurpose building, proudly standing on the north of Tehran and visible from almost every part of the city. On a rare clear day the views are fantastic.
It is located between Qarb Town and the district of Gisha, standing at 435 meters (1,427 ft) from the base to the tip of the antenna. The head consists of a large pod with 12 floors, the roof of which is at 315 meters.
Milad Tower is the tallest tower in Iran, and the sixth-tallest telecommunication tower in the world. It consists of five main parts, including the foundation, transition (lobby) structure, shaft, head structure and the antenna mast.
The four-stage antenna mast is about 120 metres (390 ft) high. The lower floor of the mast is for the adjustment of public users’ telecommunication antennas, and the three upper floors are dedicated to the antenna of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.
The tower includes 5 parts, which are the foundation, entrance lobby, shaft, head structure and antenna. The lobby consists of 6 floors and includes trade units, exhibition halls, and food courts.
