CAP Tower, Skyscraper in Brescia Due, Italy
CAP Tower is a modern office building in the Brescia Due business district featuring 22 floors of commercial space. The structure stands out in the skyline and provides multiple elevators and tenant services throughout the building.
The building was constructed between 1991 and 1993 as part of modernization plans for the business district. Its completion marked an important phase in Brescia's expansion as a commercial center.
Locals call it Torre Mercurio, after the Mercury of the water utility CAP, whose name the tower carries. The 82-metre, 22-storey block was designed by engineer Andrea Piovani and built between 1991 and 1993, the second tallest building in Brescia.
The tower sits directly at the Brescia Due metro station entrance, making it easy to access by public transport. Visitors and office workers find elevators, daytime reception services, and security systems throughout the building.
The tower is also known as Torre Mercurio, a name that does not appear in the official CAP Tower designation. It stands opposite the Bresciadue stop of the city metro, so the building is reached directly from the platform.
