The '''Almaty Television Tower''', or simply '''Almaty Tower''', is a {{convert|371.5|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} [[steel]] [[radio masts and towers|television tower]] built between 1975 and 1983 in [[Almaty]], [[Kazakhstan]]. The tower is located on high slopes of [[Kok Tobe]] mountain ({{lang-kk|'''Көктөбе'''}} means "blue hill") south-east of downtown Almaty. Unlike other similar TV towers, it is not a concrete, but a steel tubular structure. It is the tallest free-standing tubular steel structure in the world.<ref name="structurae">{{cite web|title=Alma-Ata Television Tower (Almaty, 1983) {{!}} Structurae|url=http://en.structurae.de/structures/data/index.cfm?ID=s0000889|publisher=En.structurae.de|accessdate=2012-12-28}}</ref><ref name="triposo">{{cite web|title=Almaty Tower :: Triposo.com|url=http://www.triposo.com/poi/N__681341192|publisher=[[Triposo]]|accessdate=2013-11-04}}</ref><ref name="tourist">{{cite web|title=Almaty Tower, Almaty Kazakhstan Tourist Information :: TouristLink.com|url=http://www.touristlink.com/kazakhstan/almaty-tower/overview.html|publisher=Touristlink.com|accessdate=2012-12-28}}</ref>

The tower is 371.5 m (1219 ft) tall; its 114 m metal aerial reaches 1000 meters above sea level. It has two observation decks at the height of 146 m and 252 m, which are accessible by two high-speed elevators. It is however not open to the public. The tower was built by the architects Terziev, Savchenko, Akimov and Ostroumov. Since Almaty is particularly vulnerable to [[earthquakes]], the TV tower was designed to withstand earthquakes up to a strength of 10 on the [[Richter magnitude scale|Richter scale]].<ref name="structurae"/><ref name="triposo"/><ref name="tourist"/>
