Torre Agbar pictures - Barcelona
One of the recent additions to the Barcelona skyline is the Torre Agbar, the Agbar Tower, which symbolises a water geyser. Please note that the Torre Agbar is not open to the public  Torre Agbar Google map location.  Torre Agbar was built in 2004 and is 144 m / 474 ft high. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, who also designed the nearby Poblenou park.  The tower has 33 floors of offices: The name is Agbar Tower, because it was built to consolidate the offices of the water company Agbar.
 The design symbolises a water geyser. It has also become a symbol of the change in the old industrial area of Poblenou known as the "Manchester" of Catalonia. Poblenou is now home to the new hi-tech business area called @22 Barcelona and a popular area for foreigners to live in Barcelona.  Grupo Agbar, a water supply company, occupies the entire top half of the tower, so their employees enjoy the views of the Mediterranean through one of the 4.400 windows. There is no public viewing deck and the building itself is not open to the general public.  Torre Agbar is worth seeing if only from outside. Especially when it is illuminated in a dazzling array of 4,500 yellow, blue, pink and red lights on the outside. Normally the illuminations are static, but on some occasions, such as New Year's Eve and Chrismtas the tower has a special light show.  The Agbar tower in Barcelona is only lit on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The lighting times are 21.00 to 23.00 in the winter. Times vary in the summer due to changing sunset times. To get to the Torre Agbar take the red line number 5 to Metro Station Glories. It's about 7 minutes from the centre of Barcelona and Plaza Catalunya and the shopping centre Les Glories is just across from the tower.  Christopher Columbus has a new Barcelona skyline neighbour. He can't see it because he is looking the wrong way!
