10 Most Visited Towers in The World

Towers have been central to city skylines for centuries, symbolizing human ambition and innovation. Originally built for defense or observation, towers have evolved to serve a wide range of purposes, from radio transmission to guiding ships as lighthouses. Today, they are not only architectural marvels but also cultural and artistic symbols.

Some towers are particularly significant, drawing thousands of visitors each year. These structures reflect the history, engineering achievements, and architectural styles of their time, often becoming landmarks that represent the cities they inhabit. Whether due to their historical importance, striking design, or the events they host, these towers offer unique experiences for tourists from around the world.

In this edition, Parametric Architecture explores the 10 Most Visited Towers in The World.
