So I bet you've been wondering where the tallest inclined tower in the world is located.No?
Really?
Well, pretend for a minute that you have.
Pretending? Good.
The tallest inclined tower in the world is the Montreal Tower at Olympic Park. The tower actually juts out at a 45-degree angle...making that 5-degree tip of a certain tower in Pisa seem a little less precarious.
Built for the 1976 Summer Olympic Games (though it wasn't finished until about 10 years after the games were over...what are you going to do...) the tower was designed by French architect Roger Taillibert. There are three observation floors located in the tower and the attached sports stadium boasts six aquatic pools and a multi-sport facility.
The tower is open to visitors almost year round. A bi-level funicular elevator carries as many as 500 guests an hour up and down the structure.
You'll have to give me some time to figure out what a "funicular elevator" is exactly.
Looks cool though, right?
