CN toranj

CN toranj je zgrada u Torontu u Kanadi. Visok je 553,33 metara. Najvažnija je turistička atrakcija u Torontu i privlači više od dva milijuna međunarodnih posjetitelja svake godine. Kanadska nacionalna željeznička tvrtka dala je izgraditi CN toranj. Posjetitelji mogu vidjeti Toronto iz tornja na dvije razine: na nadmorskoj visini od 330 metara i na visini od 447 metara. Kada je sagrađen bio je najviša zgrada na svijetu i najviši toranj na svijetu. To više nije nakon gradnje Burj Khalife, tornja Canton i Tokyo Skytree-a. Još uvijek je najviša zgrada na zapadnoj hemisferi i jedan od najpoznatijih simbola Kanade.

Kanadska nacionalna želejznička tvrtka došla je na ideju 1968. godine, da se izgradi veliki televizijski i radio toranj za šire područje Toronta.

CN toranj dio je centra Metro, najvećeg razvojnog projekta u Torontu. Željelo se izdići toranj 300 metara iznad najviših zgrada u gradu, jer je CN toranj sagrađen u samom središtu grada, gdje su bile najviše zgrade. Toliko je visok, da se može vidjeti s udaljenosti od 30 kilometara.

Izgradnja je počela kopanjem temelja 6. veljače 1973. godine. Oko 56 000 tona materijala uklonjeno je do dubine od 15 metara. Za temelj se koristio 7000 tona betona i 450 tona armature. Na cijelom projektu radilo je 1537 ljudi, koji su koristili 40 500 kubičnih metara betona. Vrh antene podignut je uz pomoć helikoptera. Cijena izgradnje iznosila je tadašnjih 75 milijuna dolara, (dnas 350 milijuna dolara). CN toranj otvoren je 26. lipnja 1976., prije nego se planiralo. Do sredine devedesetih godina postao je jedna od glavnih turističkih atrakcija u gradu.

Zanimljivosti

  • CN toranj je 13 metara viši od tornja Ostankino u Moskvi i gotovo dvostruko viši od Eiffelovog tornja.
  • Jedan čovjek umro je tijekom izgradnje tornja.
  • Ako vjetar puše brzinom od 200 km/h, vrh tornja njiše se za 1,05 metra.
  • Iz restorana na vrhu tornja sa staklenim podovima, može se vidjeti cijeli grad.

The view from the outdoor terrace is amazing and it blows you away (literally!). The glass floor there was really something to stand on! Look down, Ahh! We're falling! No, it's just the glass floor!

This 553 m tall tower that attracts 2 mil visitors annually was, in 1976, both the tallest free-standing structure and the tallest tower in the world. Now it became the 3rd tallest tower in the world.

Take a visit to the tower just before sunset for great views of Toronto in sunlight and then the dark too. Visit in a weekday too to avoid overcrowding!

It is an eyeful tower in Toronto. You can see it wherever you go to in Toronto but you should ride up and watch the city from the top of CN Tower. Amazing...

A must do when visiting Toronto. Get to the top of the CN Tower in a 58 second glass elevator and enjoy the incredible views of the city from the top. If you’re an adventure lover, check out EdgeWalk!

Great views of the city! Go up just before sunset to get to see the city in daylight, dusk and at night. There are places to sit and buy food in the observation deck, without going to the restaurant.
