List of towers
Towers by height
This page currently lists the top 50 towers . As a non-technical definition, the term tower describes structures having limited floor space as compared to more regular buildings. They are usually used for communications (large antenna), and often have a few floors for a observation deck or restaurant, but not continuous floors below. They operate in a niche between traditional skyscrapers and other extremely tall structures like guyed masts. They tend to offer the usefulness of unmanned TV and radio masts but with the added appeal of some high floor space for a observation deck or restaurant like many skyscrapers. Their low-floor space compared to a traditional building and higher cost compared to a mast, does offers some drawbacks however. Towers are also built for a few other purposes as well, such as for air traffic control or as a monument.

Submerged free standing towers
There are many other very tall structures such as bridges and dams that are not towers. However, there are many submerged towers such as for oil platforms. The large number of towers/masts for large wind tubines are also of a unclear classification and are not listed.
Note: The term tower has a more general usage for use with many skyscrapers such as the Twin Towers .
