Torre Branca

Torre Branca is a steel-frame panoramic tower designed by architect Giò Ponti in 1933, located in Parco Sempione, the main city park of Milan, Italy. The top of the tower is a panoramic point whose view, on a clear day, may encompass the Milan cityline as well as the Alps, the Apennines, and part of the Po Valley.
