The Tower of the Americas, in San Antonio is 750 ft. tall.  

It offers a panoramic view of San Antonio and the surrounding area.

Glass-walled elevators ascend over 500 feet to the restaurant and observation level.

It was the theme structure for "HemisFair" the 1968 World's Fair hosted here in San Antonio and it symbolizes the progress made by the confluence of civilizations in the Western Hemisphere.

 

Here is a picture from the ground, looking up as we approached the tower's base

And here is what the place I took the picture from looks like from the observation deck near the top of the tower!
