It reaches a height of 42.30 m (138 ft 9+1⁄2 in) and has a 217-step staircase to the lookout point. The tower was conceived in 1916 by Bernado Ader as Torre de la Independencia (Independence Tower) in honour of his deceased children and as a monument to the centenary of Argentine independence. Construction began in 1917; the architects were Artaza and Marino and the construction company was P. Stefanetti and Sons.
