Torre Agbar
Torre Agbar

The Torre Agbar (Agbar from Aguas de Barcelona, a water company), or Agbar Tower, is a 21st century skyscraper in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, inspired by the late Antoni Gaudi.
The skyscraper looks like an enormous missile, but many people see it as an oversize dildo or suppository, our friends from the UK will notice the similarities with the “gherkin” building in the City of London.  The Agbar Tower measures 144.4 meters (466 feet in height) and consists of 38 stories, including 4 underground levels. The building stands out in the Barcelona skyline; it is the third tallest building in the Catalan capital, beaten only by the Arts Hotel and the Mapfre Tower, both 154m.
The best moment of the day if you want to enjoy the best view of the building is at night. Torre Agbar has 4,500 l.e.d lights that allow generation of luminous images on the façade. In addition, it has temperature sensors on the outside of the tower that regulate the opening and closing of the glass blinds, reducing the consumption of energy for air conditioning.
The Torre Agbar is located in the Poblenou neighborhood of Barcelona.
