Galfa Tower, Modern skyscraper in Centro Direzionale, Milan, Italy.
The rectangular Galfa Tower reaches 109 meters with 31 floors above ground and features glass and aluminum curtain walls on its concrete structure.
Architect Melchiorre Bega designed the tower in 1956, completing construction in 1959 as part of Milan's planned financial district development.
The building's name combines syllables from its bordering streets, Via Galvani and Via Fara, reflecting local geographical naming traditions.
Seven elevators provide access throughout the building's 31 floors, with two underground levels offering additional parking and facility spaces.
The tower's flat roof housed Radio Range antennas for thirty years, serving as a primary transmission point across Milan's communication network.
