Eshkol Tower

The Eshkol Tower is a modern high-rise with 30 floors and a height of 102 meters, distinguished by its glass facade that reflects sunlight across Haifa's urban landscape. The building contains office space, various services, and an observation area in its upper levels.

The tower was built in 1978 based on a design by architect Shlomo Gilad during a period of intense urban development in northern Israel. Its construction marked an important turning point in Haifa's modernist transformation in the late 1970s.

The tower is named after Levi Eshkol, Israel's third Prime Minister, linking this building to the nation's political past. It has become a familiar landmark in the city's skyline that locals and visitors easily recognize.

Access to the observation area is generally available to visitors, with the upper floors offering the best views of the city and Mediterranean Sea. The best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon when light conditions are ideal for views and photography.

The tower was among the first major construction projects that launched Haifa's transformation into a modern business center and reshaped the city's appearance. Its completion at that time made it a symbol of urban growth and architectural renewal in the region.
