Centro Svizzero

The Centro Svizzero (English: Swiss Center) is an early skyscraper and a landmark in Milan, Italy.

Built in 1949-51 to replace the Hotel Cavour, it was Milan's highest building until 1954, when it was overtaken by the so-called "Breda Tower".

The tower is situated at Via Palestro 2-4, near the center of Milan, and has a height of 20 stories (80 m).

Its construction by architects Armin Meili and Giovanni Romano was initiated by the Swiss Association of Milan as a replacement of their former headquarters that were destroyed by a 1943 bombing raid.

The building is owned by the Swiss Federal Authorities.
