Torres de Colón, Office skyscraper in Chamberí, Madrid, Spain
Torres de Colón consists of two identical towers rising 116 meters into the Madrid skyline, featuring 23 floors of commercial space and offices.
The construction of these twin towers started in 1967 under the direction of architect Antonio Lamela, reaching completion in 1976 as Madrid's tallest office buildings.
The towers mark the northern boundary of Plaza de Colón, representing the architectural transformation of Madrid during the economic growth of the 1970s.
The building complex contains 12 elevators serving multiple businesses and corporations, with direct access to public transportation through nearby metro stations.
These towers maintained their status as Madrid's highest office buildings until 1988, when Torre Picasso exceeded their height of 116 meters.
