About

The World Federation of Great Towers ("WFGT") is an association of international monuments which join together to foster global awareness and develop international opportunities for promotion. The construction of a tower is one of mankind's oldest dreams.

For earlier civilizations, a tower made it possible to see the approaching enemy and protect oneself. The Tower of Babel emerged as a catalyst with regards to the shape and symbolism of the first towers as well as today's skyscrapers.

Today, people are driven to build towers by the quest for even greater heights. Most of the extraordinary buildings have come to symbolize their host cities, often overshadowing the largest religious structures.

Modern ingenuity and technology now make it possible to reach incredible height. In the process, towers have acquired new purposes in areas such as tourism and communications. In fact, as their rise has paralleled that of telecommunications, several towers now play an important role in this field.
Seeking the pleasure of admiring spectacular panoramas from uncommon heights or the experience of "being at the top", millions of people a year make it a point to visit towers.
