The KIO towers are one of the most famous landmarks on the Madrid skyline. Their official name is “Puerta de Europa” and they consist of two leaning towers standing 115 metres high and symmetrically placed on either side of Paseo de la Castellana. Building work on the towers began in 1990 to a design produced by New York architecture firm John Burgee Architects and was completed in the autumn of 1995.
