Tour de l'Échangeur de Limete, Concrete tower in Limete, Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Tour de l'Échangeur stands at 210 meters tall with four reinforced concrete columns containing internal staircases and elevator shafts.
President Mobutu Sese Seko initiated the construction in 1970 to create a national symbol, with French-Tunisian architect Olivier-Clément Cacoub completing it in 1974.
The Museum of Contemporary and Multimedia Arts at the base exhibits collections from Congolese artists and sculptors within the tower's structure.
The museum opens daily during morning hours, with admission fees of 1,000 francs for Congolese citizens and 10 dollars for international visitors.
A 300-meter viaduct connects to a ceremonial platform, making this structure one of the tallest buildings across the African continent.
