The Brasília Digital TV Tower in Lago Norte was designed by Oscar Niemeyer. Work began in 2009. It was planned to open on April 21, 2010, and was inaugurated on April 21, 2012. The article names no client, and it does not name a style for the tower.

The lower 120 meters are reinforced concrete, and a metal structure rises above. The roof is at 120 m and the antenna spire at 180 m in the infobox, though the text gives 182 m. Two observatories hold a panoramic restaurant above and an art gallery below.

It broadcasts digital television for the Federal District and surrounding areas. It is also called the Flor do Cerrado. The article gives the cost as 75 million reais, and gives no hours or admission details.
