A double Pisa
Puerta de Europa
Why locals love it
Known as 'The Gate of Europe' the two leaning bank office towers at Plaza de Castilla, are like a double up modern version of the famous Pisa tower. Their 15 degree inclination is made on purpose though, and gave Madrid some very unique modern architecture years before the nearby Cuatro Torres were finished.
