Iberdrola Tower, Steel and glass skyscraper in Abandoibarra district, Bilbao, Spain.
The Iberdrola Tower rises 165 meters into the sky with 41 floors, featuring a modern glass facade that reflects the surrounding city landscape.
King Juan Carlos I inaugurated the Iberdrola Tower on February 21, 2012, marking a new chapter in the transformation of Bilbao's former industrial area.
The tower stands near the Guggenheim Museum and Euskalduna Concert Hall, forming part of Bilbao's architectural renewal following the 1970s industrial decline.
The building contains 21 elevators and serves as the headquarters of Iberdrola, with additional office spaces available for corporate tenants.
The structure, designed by César Pelli, ranks as the tallest building in the Basque Country and the ninth highest skyscraper in Spain.

Bilbao combines contemporary art with Gothic architecture and offers visitors insight into Basque culture and history. The Guggenheim Museum draws art enthusiasts from around the world with its sculptural titanium facade, while the Fine Arts Museum houses a significant collection of classical and modern works. The Mercado de la Ribera, an Art Nouveau structure on the riverfront, is Europe's largest covered market and showcases the region's culinary traditions. The old quarter clusters around the Gothic Cathedral of St. James and Plaza Nueva, whose 19th-century arcades shelter bars and restaurants. Along the Nervión, historic bridges like Arenal Bridge and modern structures like Zubizuri Bridge connect both riverbanks. The Begoña Basilica sits above the city and provides views across the rooftops and hills. The Arriaga Theatre and Euskalduna Palace represent different architectural periods, while Azkuna Zentroa repurposes an early 20th-century wine warehouse as a cultural center. The Artxanda funicular railway enables panoramic views across the entire urban area and surrounding mountains.
