The Monte da Virgem Emitter Center has a tower of 177m and is the tallest structure of its kind in Portugal.
Its construction began in 1993. The first TV broadcast on this tower took place in February 1995.
The Digital Terrestrial Television signal (at this stage with the 4 generalist television channels: RTP1, RTP2, SIC and TVI, and also with RTP3, RTP Memory and ARTV) is broadcasted here.
It is also a point of great importance in terms of hertzian connections, either from Altice’s core network or from circuits to different telecommunications operators.
