North Korea has unveiled the new look of Pyongyang’s TV Tower after a five-year renovation, upgrading a long-time landmark of the capital’s skyline ahead of a possible return of tourists.

Korean Central Television (KCTV) aired a close-up drone shot of the multi-story observation deck at the top of the tower on Moran Hill in central Pyongyang, showing it is now a glass window-covered ball resembling other modern towers around the world.

It was originally built in 1967 in a brutalist and midcentury modernist architectural style, with decorative accents above a three-story plain and round concrete observation deck structure.
