It is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere and the 13th tallest building in the world. The Sky Tower is a sightseeing and radio broadcasting tower located between Victoria St. and Hobson St. in the center of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. It was built in 1996. It was opened to the public on March 3, 1997. About 1 million tourists visit here every year. The sky tower is highly safe and can withstand strong winds of 200 kilometers per hour, earthquakes of magnitude 7 on the Richter scale 40 kilometers away, and earthquakes of magnitude 8 on the Richter scale 20 kilometers away. The tower has a multi-layered observation deck and high-powered telescope at 190 meters, which allows tourists to enjoy the panoramic view of Auckland.
