Torre Glòries
A bullet-shaped landmark by Jean Nouvel, with a 30th-floor observation deck overlooking the Sagrada Família and the coastline.
Originally known as Torre Agbar, the 144-metre tower was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel and completed in 2005. Thousands of coloured glass panels on its façade light up with LEDs at night, making it a symbol of Barcelona's modern skyline. Since 2022, the 30th floor has been open as the Mirador observation deck, offering 360-degree views of the Sagrada Família, Montjuïc and the Mediterranean. Inside is also the artist Tomás Saraceno's large climbing installation, Cloud City. Tickets cost about €15, and it is best to book a time slot on the official website. Take metro line L1 to Glòries station, and combine your visit with the Disseny Hub Barcelona across the square and the Els Encants flea market.
