Torre Glòries by Night - a Barcelona icon

            A TRAM from Barcelona's public transport system passing through Plaça de Les Glòries Catalanes, where the iconic Torre Glòries is located. Doesn't this resemble another European postcard? Yes, in a way, it is very similar to a famous London building, nicknamed "The Gherkin", situated in the modern central nucleus of London, officially the "30 St Mary Ax", headquarters of Swiss Re Group. and also built at the beginning from the 2000s.
The Torre Glòries, formerly known as Torre Agbar, has 38 floors and is a kind of landmark for the most technological district of Barcelona, a part of the Poble Nou (literally "New Town"), once a degraded area of the city. The skyscraper was designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel in association with the Spanish office b720, by Fermín Vázquez. The design inspiration, according to its designer, is the shape of the slopes of Montserrat and the towers of the Sagrada Familia. ⠀
