AREA DESCRIPTION
Torre Galfa is one of the city's historic skyscrapers, opened in 1959, designed by architect Melchiorre Bega. Built of reinforced concrete and with aluminum and glass curtain walls, it possesses an almost completely concealed load-bearing structure that gives it an elegance attributable to "its simple beauty capable of communicating truth," as Giò Ponti, one of Milan's most influential architects and designers, wrote. Its perfect proportions of volumes, simplicity of lines and structural ascendancy have made it a key symbol of the Milanese skyline.
The building is strategically located, well served by public transportation and connected to the city center and major places of interest. In fact, the Duomo di Milano, Piazza della Scala, Porta Nuova, Piazza Gae Aulenti, Isola and the Quadrilatero della moda are easily accessible on foot or by public transport. There are numerous restaurants, bars and clubs in the area that are ideal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
