Built from a design selected from more than 250 entries to a 1922 contest, this neo- Gothic tower serves as a gateway to the Magnificent Mile. It is Chicago's third tallest skyscraper. Spend some time exploring the walls and you'll find stones from the Taj Mahal, the Parthenon, Palace of Westminster, the Alamo and 132 other famous locales. The most recent addition: a piece of steel recovered from the World Trade Center after the 9/11 attack.

With its rippling facade and vast green roof, Chicago's Aqua Tower is a revelation. It's also the tallest building in the world to be designed by a woman.
