A quick stop in Madrid after a 10 day trip to Singapore and Bali. This is the only shot I had time to take will in one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals.
Puerta de Europa from Paseo de la Castellana, with the monument to José Calvo-Sotelo in the center.
They were designed by the American architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee, built by Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas and commissioned in 1996 by the Kuwait Investment Office (hence their initial name Torres KIO). Each building is 115 m tall with an inclination of 15º. They are located near the Chamartín railway station, on the sides of the Plaza Castilla bus station, north from the Paseo de la Castellana and near the Cuatro Torres skyscraper park, for dignify the Calvo Sotelo Memorial.
