Torre Agbar, Barcelona
Thursday, 10th November 2005 by James Turnbull
Still under construction in the satellite photo, Torre Agbar was inaugurated by the king of Spain just a couple of months ago on the 16th September 2005. The 142m tall building houses the Barcelona Water Company and has more than 4,000 LEDs for spectacular night-time illuminations.
This ground level photo shows the completed building, which to me looks a lot like the "Gherkin" building in London.

Hmm… I agree it looks like the Gherkin, but it’s a lot more phallic than the London building!
It’s an amazing building and along with the Famile Sagrada really livens up Barcelonas skyline. It was the 1st building I saw whilst travelling into the city by road.
