The CN Tower

Landmark

The CN Tower in Toronto was the world's tallest free-standing structure from 1976 to 2007 at 553 metres. It remains an iconic symbol of Canada and receives 1.5 million visitors per year.

💡 The CN Tower is struck by lightning over 75 times per year — it was designed with a lightning protection system that safely channels the strikes.
