The Puerta de Europa towers are two twin office buildings in Madrid. They were designed by the American architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee, built by Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas and commissioned in 1996 by the Kuwait Investment Office (hence their initial name “Torres KIO”). Each building is 115 m tall with an inclination of 15º.

Madrid current weather and forecast information:
They are located near the Chamartín railway station, on the sides of the Plaza Castilla bus station, north from the Paseo de la Castellana and near the Cuatro Torres skyscraper park. After the Torres KIO fraud case, KIO had to sell the buildings, which are now owned by Caja Madrid and Realia. In the 1995 Satanic comedy film El día de la Bestia, the buildings are said to be shaped as a diabolical signature and the place of birth of the Anti-Christ on Christmas Day of 1995.
