Madona Radio Towers
History
The Madona Radio Towers were built in 1932 to serve as radio towers in Madona. The towers were built along with the other transmitters and the radio station or centre. The construction of the radio centre and the cable way as a whole was proposed by engineer Jānis Linters. When the construction of the whole cable way was finally commenced in 1932, 10 Latvian men were assigned to the Madona Radio Towers, with radio engineer Remberts Martinsons preparing the plans for the construction. In the same year, the cable way finally finished its half-a-year wide construction, with the Madona Radio Towers being the tallest. The towers were later on dismantled in July 1944 by the invading Nazi German soldiers during the Second World War in 1944.
Geography
The Madona Radio Towers were constructed in the town of Madona, which is located in the municipality of Madona, in Latvia. When the towers were still on service, they were located near the radio station or centre beside the Aiviekste River.
