The Torre Europa is a skyscraper built by Necso in the AZCA complex in Madrid, Spain. It is 121 metres (397 ft) high and has 30 floors.[2]
History
Completed in 1985, it was designed by Miguel Oriol e Ybarra and built by Necso.[3] The terrorist organization ETA threatened to destroy the building on 1 May 2002 with 20 kilograms (44 lb) of high explosive.[4] In 2020, Torre Europa underwent a change of ownership when AGIB Real Estate acquired the tower from Infinorsa. Following the transition, the building has since faced neglect and entered a state of decay.
In fiction
The outdoor scenes of the 2005 film El método were shot by Torre Europa.
