Sometimes, some of the best images are when you look at something differently.
Rialto Towers is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers. It has 58 floors above street level and 8 below. From street level up it measures 253m (830ft). The structure was built in 1986 by Australian developer Bruno Grollo, who was also responsible for the Eureka Tower. The former observation deck, on the 55th floor, is now the setting for the Vue de Monde restaurant, one of the city’s most spectacular places to dine, with panoramic views over Melbourne. The lift travels from the ground floor to the 55th floor in 38 seconds and is one of the fastest in the world.
