63 Building, Skyscraper in Yeouido district, Seoul, South Korea.

The 63 Building reaches a height of 249 meters with its golden glass exterior reflecting sunlight across the Han River waters.

After five years of construction starting in 1980, the 63 Building emerged as the highest structure outside North America upon its completion in 1985.

The building functioned as a central point during the 1988 Seoul Olympics, where the Olympic torch illuminated the Seoul night from its observation deck.

The building contains multiple floors dedicated to public attractions, including art galleries, restaurants, shopping areas, an IMAX theater, and an aquarium.

The structure earned recognition as the second tallest gold-clad building worldwide, following only the Grand Lisboa in Macau.
