View from the observation point of Imperia Tower.
Two doors of the building

The skyscraper has 22 levels in its central part and is 160 metres (520 ft) tall. It is topped by a 30-metre spire which ends with a five-pointed star. Lateral towers are lower than the central one.

History

The skyscraper was laid down in 1950 and completed in 1954.[3] It was the last of the Seven Sisters to be completed.

Its apartments were originally intended for the political elite of the former USSR; they are currently inhabited by wealthy and stylish Russians.[4]
