Montreal Tower, Observation tower in Olympic Park, Montreal, Canada
The Montreal Tower rises 175 meters above the Olympic Stadium complex with a 45-degree angle, constructed from reinforced concrete and steel materials.
The Montreal Tower opened in 1973 as part of the Olympic Stadium construction project in preparation for the 1976 Summer Olympic Games.
The observatory levels of the Montreal Tower provide panoramic views extending 80 kilometers across Montreal, revealing the city's architectural evolution and urban layout.
The Montreal Tower remains closed for renovations until fall 2026, with plans to update the funicular system and create new glass-enclosed observation spaces.
The funicular transport system operates on a curved structure, maintaining a horizontal position while carrying 50 passengers during the two-minute ascent.
