Overview

At 240 meters, carrying a golden star-tipped spire on the top and displaying giant Communist-style statues on terraces and portals, this is the highest and easily the most impressive of the Seven Sisters (Sem' Sester). The main tower houses university offices. The smaller towers and the wings are blocks of hostels and splendid professional flats. The two lowest storeys of the main tower are marble and bronze. A doorway from the University's Museum of Earth Sciences on the 24th floor leads to an open-air observation terrace with a panoramic view to the northeast.
