Star Tower

The Star Tower in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a 291.4-meter (956-foot) broadcast tower used for FM and television signals. The steel lattice structure bears a strong visual resemblance to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. One unusual detail of its construction is that the tower was erected in 1991 with the help of a helicopter. Because there is no observation deck open to the public, the structure serves a purely functional purpose as a piece of technical infrastructure. Visitors can therefore only admire the distinctive tower, which stands out clearly from the surrounding skyline, from the outside, marveling at its imposing height and characteristic shape in the Cincinnati cityscape.
