The structure was originally a cement storage silo for the shipping port before being repurposed for the 2012 World Expo.
The pipe organ inside the tower was officially certified by Guinness World Records as the loudest pipe organ in the world.
The tower functions as a sound-art installation, using the verticality of the former silo to project music across the harbor.
The ocean water desalination system used during the Expo was housed within the tower complex.
The interior temperature and atmosphere are climate-controlled despite the building's industrial concrete exterior.
Sky Tower is a 67-meter-tall observation deck converted from a former cement silo, serving as a landmark remnant of the Yeosu Expo 2012. It features the world's largest pipe organ installed within an industrial structure, which holds a Guinness World Record. The tower offers 360-degree views of the Yeosu Expo site, the coastline, and the surrounding harbor. Cafe Sky is located at the top of the tower, providing indoor seating with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The building's exterior retains its original industrial aesthetics, contrasting with the modern observation deck interior. It stands as a significant piece of sustainable urban redevelopment in South Korea.
