According to one of them, sometimes at night near the tower you can see a hunchbacked old woman – a ghost that appears before trouble. He was allegedly seen in 2000 before the fire in the tower. Some believe that the tower has its own brownie, which, as the guards say, has a capricious disposition. True or not – you decide.
The Ostankino TV Tower is a unique building for many reasons. A 360-degree panorama opens from here, and one of the fastest elevators is located here – they will help you climb the tower at a speed of 7 meters per second.

The Ostankino Tower is one of the most striking buildings in the capital. The architect of the building, Nikolai Nikitin, came up with the project in just one night. By the way, Nikitin is also known as the architect of the Main Building of Moscow State University and the Motherland monument. The height of the tower is equal to the height of a house with 180 floors. Surprisingly, with such parameters, the depth of the tower foundation is slightly more than 4 meters.
By the way, the tower itself is primarily a signal source for television channels. At one time, the workers had to spend almost 2 months to properly install all the antennas on it. In 2014, as part of the Around the World festival, the media facade of the Ostankino TV Tower was developed, and now it looks even more beautiful at night than in the daytime. The media façade refreshed the look of the tower, making it brighter and more modern.
