The Pirelli Tower or Pirelli Building (“Pirellone”), is a prominent building in Milan, Italy. In 1950 Alberto Pirelli, the president of the Pirelli Company, required that a skyscraper be built in the original area where the first factory was constructed in the 19th century. The project was developed by architect Gio Ponti, with the assistance of Pier Luigi Nervi and Arturo Danusso. At 127.1 meters (417 feet), it is the tallest building in the city and was built of concrete (est. 60,000 tons). Construction of the tower began in 1956 in a time that Italy was experiencing an economic boom. The tower was to be surrounded by low lying buildings on a pectagonal plot of land. Upon its completion in 1958, it became one of the symbols of Milan and of the national economical recovery. The building was later sold to the Lombardy region, of which is now the head office. Known travel attractions.

The CN Tower, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is the world’s tallest freestanding structure on land, standing 553.33 meters (1,815 ft 5 in) tall. It is considered the signature icon of the city, attracting more than two million international visitors annually. If you are in Toronto must see tourism attractions.
CN originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. Following the railway’s decision to divest non-core freight railway assets, prior to the company’s privatization in 1995, the CN Tower was transferred to the Canada Lands Company (CLC), a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development. Since local residents wished to retain the name CN Tower, the abbreviation is now said to expand to Canada’s National Tower rather than the original Canadian National Tower; however, neither of these is commonly used. Emporis and the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, consider the CN Tower to be the world’s tallest free-standing structure, but do not consider the CN Tower to be a true building, and therefore award the title of world’s tallest building to Taipei 101, which is 44m shorter than the CN Tower. Disputing this determination, the Guinness World Records has listed the CN Tower as the world’s tallest building since its completion in 1976 (citation needed), and the tower’s official website makes a similar claim.
