The Iriški Venac Tower ( Serbian: Кула Иришки венац, romanized: Kula Iriški venac, lit. "Irish Wreath Tower"; pronounced [ǐriʃkiː ʋɛ̌ːnats]) is a 175- metre-tall TV tower built of concrete on Iriški Venac in Fruška Gora near Novi Sad, Serbia. It consists of a 120-metre-tall concrete structure with two baskets on which the 30-metre-long section with FM- antennas has been placed. On the pinnacle there is a 20-metre-long TV antenna.

The tower was built in 1975 [1] and its lower basket was partly destroyed during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. [2] Sources estimate that the tower was hit by over 50 missiles. [3] The damage was estimated to be at 11.5 million dollars. [2]
