TV Tower on Sljeme, which is a highest peak (1033 meter) of Medvednica mountain near Zagreb, is a 169 meter tall TV tower built of reinforced concrete. On September 16th 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence, the tower was a target of a Yugoslav army air attack. The guided missile hit the tower and caused a significant damage to the TV equipment and temporarily interrupted the broadcast.
