The latest addition to the Barcelona skyline is the Torre Agbar. 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 central park of Poblenou.

Jean Nouvelis quoated as saying of the tower "This tower might be a distant echo of old Catalan obsessions, carried on the winds that blow in from Montserrat"

The tower has 33 floors of offices and is called Agbar Tower, because it was built to consolidate the offices of the company Agbar, who used to have offices in a number of different buildings throughout Barcelona.

Grupo Agbar, a water resource company, occupies the entire top half of the tower, so they are the people to do business with, if you want to enjoy the views of the Mediterranean through one of the 4.400 windows, because sadly there is is no public viewing deck and the building itself is not open to the general public.

It is worth a visit though, just to see from the outside and especially in the evening when it is (sometimes) illuminated in a dazzling array of 4,500 yellow, blue, pink and red lights on the outside, as you can see from the photos below.
