Torre de las Telecomunicaciones (Telecommunications Tower) or Torre Antel (Antel Tower) is the {{convert|158|m|ft|sp=us}}, 37-floor headquarters of Uruguay's [[government-owned]] telecommunications company, [[ANTEL]], and is the tallest building in the country. It was designed by architect [[Carlos Ott]]. It is situated by the side of the Bay of Montevideo. The tower was completed by [[American Bridge Company]] and other design/build consortium team members on 15 March 2000.

When its construction was announced, many politicians complained about its cost (US$40&nbsp;million, plus US$25&nbsp;million for the construction of the other 5 buildings of the Telecommunications Complex). Problems during its construction turned the original US$65&nbsp;million price into US$102&nbsp;million.
