As a tourist I came across this impressive building. There are lots of works going on in and around the main square, some are just about renovation, some are about building new things, as in this case. It was a bit disappointing as the square was kind of defaced due to this works. It's strange to see the raising of a tower there, close to a 18th century clock tower and to a beautiful mosque also from the 18th century, but it's also interesting to see different eras represented in the same area: classic buildings together with socialist architecture and now this tower.
The building will host offices and also provide housing. It will be about 90 m tall.
