Liberation Tower (Kuwait)

The Liberation Tower (Arabic: برج التحرير, Burj Al-Tahrir) is a 372-meter (1,220 ft) tall telecommunications tower located in Kuwait City, Kuwait. It is one of the tallest structures in Kuwait and is recognized as a symbol of the country's liberation from Iraqi occupation during the Gulf War (1990-1991).

Construction of the tower began before the invasion, but was interrupted. After the expulsion of Iraqi forces, construction resumed, and the tower was renamed "Liberation Tower" to commemorate Kuwait's freedom.

The tower serves as a key communications hub for Kuwait, housing various telecommunications equipment and government offices. It features a revolving observation sphere at the top, offering panoramic views of Kuwait City and the surrounding area. Public access to the observation sphere is sometimes available.

The design of the Liberation Tower incorporates elements intended to evoke the spirit of freedom and renewal. While not as widely known internationally as some other skyscrapers, the Liberation Tower holds significant national importance for Kuwait and stands as a prominent landmark within the capital. The tower's height and strategic location make it a vital part of Kuwait's telecommunications infrastructure.
