Branca Tower

In the 1930s, Milan built its totem in the clearing of Parco Sempione. Designed by Gio Ponti, this tower is considered a true work of art in which modern architecture and new techniques meet. Slim and transparent, a true architectural challenge, it was erected in record time – just two and a half months. The beautiful casing and wall, facing the side of the park in high-strength transparent crystal, allow a perspective view of the tower from the inside. Made from a special steel, flanged and bolted, the tower is 108.60 meters high. Today, a modern elevator can bring 7 people at a time to the top in less than one minute.

Visit Branca Tower, an iron structure that offers by elevator an ascent to a terrace overlooking the city. Observe from the terrace the Castello Sforzesco, and a little further away from the monuments of the historic center, the new neighborhoods and modern glass cathedrals, and the mountains. At one of the most iconic towers of Milan, take the opportunity to admire the city from another point of view. From an exceptional site, we will recognize the most important monuments and buildings of Milan, with the help of our guide. Enjoy an aperitif on the high up, private area of the terrace at Branca tower, and let the architecture and nature of the landscape soak in.
