Facts, informations and history of C.N. Tower

The CN Tower is not only one of Canada's most recognizable landmarks, but is also an architectural icon in the heart of the city of Toronto. Its impressive silhouette rises above the city skyline, attracting the attention of both tourists and local residents.

CN Tower, i.e. Canada National Tower, was built in 1973-1976 as part of the development of Toronto's infrastructure. Its construction was aimed primarily at improving communication and the transmission of radio and television signals. The tower was a response to the coverage challenges caused by dense development in the city center.

Architecture and construction

The CN Tower design was developed by a team of experienced engineers and architects, led by John Andrews Architects and Webb Zerafa Menkes Housden Architects. 1,537 people participated in the construction, and over 63,000 tons of earth and slate were moved under the foundation, digging to a depth of 15 meters.

CN Tower is a solid structure, based on a massive concrete core reinforced with steel cables and reinforcement. Over 40,000 cubic meters of concrete, over 130 kilometers of steel cable and over 5,000 tons of reinforcing steel were used for its construction. This makes the tower resistant to strong winds and earthquakes, ensuring stability and safety.

Byłem tam w czasie kiedy nosiła jeszcze miano najwyższej budowli na świecie. Windą wjeżdża się bardzo szybko - uczucie wgniatania w podłogę jak w samolocie (jednocześnie przy zjeździe w dół mamy wrażenie jakbyśmy spadali). U góry rozpościera się widok na jezioro Ontario i Toronto (wjeżdżałem tam w nocy więc wrażenie tym bardziej było niesamowite). Na pierwszym poziomie jest szklana podłoga - nie jest duża - są to dwa przeszklenia z kilku warstw szyb pancernych (powiedzmy wielkości drzwi balkonowych). Można po nich swobodnie chodzić i patrzeć w dół - nie każdy ma odwagę na nie wejść - wrażenie jest niesamowite. Punkty widokowe są całe oszklone, dzięki czemu można jeszcze lepiej podziwiać widok. Na drugim poziomie, który znajduje się prawie na samym szczycie wierzy czuć hulający wiatr i ma się wrażenie, że wieża się porusza.
