Torre Velasca

The Torre Velasca ("Velasca Tower") is a skyscraper built in the 1950s by the BBPR architectural partnership, in Milan, Italy. The construction was achieved in 1958, and inaugurated in 1961. Measuring 106 metres (348 ft) in height to the roof, the tower has 26 stories. The building is considered one of the few Italian examples of post-rationalist brutalist architecture. The tower is located in the city centre of Milan, near the Duomo (Milan Cathedral) and the headquarters of the University of Milan, between the streets corso di Porta Romana and via Larga. One of the exits of the Missori metro station, on line 3, is located right in front of it. In 2011, the tower was placed under protection as a historic building.
