The Sydney Tower, the city's tallest structure, is one of Sydney's most prominent landmarks. The 309 meter (1014ft) high tower was built in 1981 as a communications tower and tourist facility. Each year, more than a million visitors enjoy the spectacular views over Sydney.
Sydney TowerThe Name
The tower is often referred to as Centrepoint Tower or AMP Tower. Centrepoint was the original name - and still the name of the shopping center at the foot of the tower - while AMP was the owner of the tower for some period. While these two names are still frequently used, the structure is now officially known as Sydney Tower.
