We present the nuclear structure of the radio galaxy 3C236 obtained by VLBI and MERLIN observations at both 1.663 and 5 GHz. Comparison with an HST WFPC-2 image of 3C236 suggests that the radio axis is at an angle of ∼ 30° to the plane of the sky, and 3C236 has an overall size of 4.5 Mpc and contains the longest jet known in the universe.
