Solar City Tower will be built atop the island of Cotonduba and will be the welcome symbol to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

It will be seen by the game visitors and participants as they arrive by air or sea.

The tower captures solar energy. It will supply energy for all of the Olympic city, as well as for part of Rio. It pumps up water from the ocean to create what appears like a water fall and this fall stimulates turbines that produce energy during the night.

The Tower includes an amphitheater, an auditorium, a cafeteria and boutiques. Elevators lead to various observatories. It also has a retractable platform for bungee jumping. At the summit is an observation point to appreciate the scenery of the land and ocean, as well as the waterfall.

Solar City Tower will be the point of reference for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. 

It will also hold the Olympic flame.
