If you have a passion for modern architecture than the Unicredit Tower is one of the highlights of the city. The Unicredit Tower is an impressive skyscraper and its actually the tallest building in Italy. It consists of three towers with the largest one being an imposing 231 meters high, which is 758 feet. It has also been awarded as one of the most visually appealing and sustainable skyscrapers in the world. The spire of the tower is one of it’s most iconic features. As the spire is entirely covered in led lights it can be shown in distinct colors, such as the colors of the Italian flag, on special occasions.
At the base of the towers you will find the Piazza Gae Aulenti, which is an artificial public square with solar panels, water and fountains that is raised several meters above ground level. This architectural highlight is a very photogenic vantage point to the observe the Unicredit Tower from. This futuristic square also has a handful of shops and eating venues for the locals who often pass by.
