Built for the 1976 Summer Olympic Games, the Olympic Stadium is the Olympic Park’s centrepiece and is a bold design of the French architect Roger Taillibert. Topped by the tallest inclined tower in the world, the Olympic Stadium quickly became a choice location for major sporting events, rock concerts and mass gatherings. A funicular-type elevator brings visitors to the top three observation floors. The tower was not originally designed for observation, but rather to hold the stadium roof up through wires.
