One World Trade Center joins Global Greening for St Patrick’s Day

One World Trade Center in New York City — rebuilt after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks — is to go green on St Patrick’s Day for the first time.

The tallest building in the western hemisphere is just one of the world’s iconic structures that will join Tourism Ireland’s Global Greening initiative for the first time in 2017.

The new landmarks include: City Hall and Heron Tower in London; Plaça de Catalunya and the fountains on Gran Via in Barcelona; Pozzo di San Patrizio in Orvieto, Italy; the four principal monuments in the town of Cosenza, Italy; City Hall in Antwerp; Cloth Hall in Ypres; Matsue Castle in Japan; and Gwangandaegyo (Diamond Bridge) in South Korea.
