The Tashkent Tower, Uzbekistan.

10. Tashkent Tower
The TV Tower in Tashkent is a striking steel structure that dominates the Uzbek city’s skyline. Originally started in 1978, the tower began operations six years later.

Designed by local architects Terxiev, Tsarucov & Semashko, the vertical cantilever structure is made out of steel – and has an observation deck at 97 metres above ground level.

The World Federation of Great Towers ranks the Tashkent Tower eighth in its list of 32 global members. One of the key criteria for inclusion in the Federation list is that the building must have an observation deck.
