Torre Banc de Sabadell
Torre Banc de Sabadell, Skyscraper in Dreta de l'Eixample, Barcelona, Spain.
Description
The Torre Banc de Sabadell is a modern office tower with 23 floors built from concrete, steel, and glass that rises prominently above the surrounding buildings. Its sleek form shapes the character of this part of the city and can be spotted from various viewpoints across the neighborhood.
History
Architects Francesc Mitjans i Miró and Santiago Balcells i Gorina designed the building, which opened in 1969 and reflected Barcelona's modernization at that time. Soon after its completion, another structure surpassed it in height, built just a year later.

Shortly after its completion, the building held the title of Barcelona's tallest structure, but this honor lasted only a year. This brief moment makes it a special chapter in the city's building history.
