An undisputed icon of San Francisco’s skyline, the Transamerica Pyramid stands out for its sleek and futuristic shape. Inaugurated in 1972 and standing 260 meters tall, it was the city’s tallest building for many years. Designed by William Pereira, the pyramid structure is not only an architectural symbol but also a functional choice: its tapered shape allows more light and air to reach the streets below. Clad in white quartz and topped with a spire that glows at night, the tower embodies the boldness and innovative spirit of America. Although it is not open to the public, it remains one of the most photographed and recognizable landmarks in the city. Image Rendering by Google Earth.
