[edit] Technical info

Cibona Tower is ranked 3rd by height (2nd when you include the antenna) in Croatia. It is 92 meters (307 feet) tall, and it has 25 levels. There is a radio mast on the roof, which increases the height of the tower to 105 meters (350 feet).

The tower is a part of the complex that is comprised of lower business objects, a 6000 seat basketball hall, and an art installation.

The skyscraper is a cylinder, 25 meters (83 ft) in diameter, which reduces its diameter in four stages, and ends up with a radio mast. The facade is derived in dark steel, totally reflective glass, and black granite. The windows are not fixed. The first stage ends up on the 21st floor, second on the 23rd floor, third on the 24th floor, and the fourth on the 25th floor. The rim of the tower is held by the 26 reinforced concrete pylons, which make it resistant to a 7 points Richter scale earthquake, and a small airplane hit.

[edit] History

The tower was built in 1987 because of the Universiade that was held in Zagreb that year. The architect responsible for its design is Marijan Hržić.

The current occupant of the tower is Agrokor, the biggest food company in Croatia.
