The Torre Ader (Ader Tower in English) is an 18th-century Florentine-style tower located in Carapachay in Vicente López Partido, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is an historical monument built in similar style to the Torre Monumental (Monumental Tower) in Buenos Aires.[1][2] It reaches a height of 42.30 m (138 ft 9+1⁄2 in) and has a 217-step staircase to the lookout point.[3]

The tower was conceived in 1916 by Bernado Ader[4] as Torre de la Independencia (Independence Tower) in honour of his deceased children[5] and as a monument to the centenary of Argentine independence. Construction began in 1917; the architects were Artaza and Marino and the construction company was P. Stefanetti and Sons.[6]
