Torre Urquinaona, Rationalist skyscraper in Dreta de l'Eixample, Barcelona, Spain.

The Torre Urquinaona reaches a height of 70 meters with its 21 floors, standing at the intersection of Plaza Urquinaona and Calle Lauria.

Construction of the Torre Urquinaona began in 1968 under architects Antoni Bonet i Castellana and Bernat Miró Llort, completing the project in 1971.

The building exemplifies the Rationalist architectural movement in Catalonia, earning recognition as a Cultural Asset within the region's architectural heritage inventory.

The office building contains multiple commercial spaces and houses the Consulate of Slovakia, positioned near Plaza Catalunya in central Barcelona.

A significant fire in 1999 affected three floors of the building, leading to structural modifications that altered its original configuration.
