Freedom Tower (One World Trade Center)

The Freedom Tower, officially called One World Trade Center, is the main building of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. It stands as a symbol of resilience and recovery after the 2001 terrorist attacks. With a height of 1,776 feet—representing the year of American independence—it is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. Designed with advanced safety features and modern architecture, it houses offices, observatories, and memorials. The tower serves as a powerful reminder of rebuilding, hope, and the strength of community in the face of tragedy.
