Torres de Colón
by: Antonio Lamela
Madrid, Spain
The Torres de Colón is a 117-meter-high, 23-story office skyscraper located in Plaza de Colón in Madrid. The towers were built between 1967 and 1976 by the Madrid architect Antonio Lamela and the engineers Leonardo Fernández Troyano, Javier Manterola and Carlos Fernández Casado.
The towers were built from top to bottom – they are made using a hanging structure.
Between 2020 and 2022, the Spanish architect Luis Vidal carried out a remodeling, removing the basement floors and the socket-shaped top, and replacing them with two new four-story structures.
