This slender telecommunications tower was designed by British architect Norman
Foster. The needle-like upper structure rests on a concrete pillar and is anchored
by 12 huge steel cables. Rising to a height of 560 m (1836 ft) above sea level, the
top is reached by a glass-fronted elevator. On a clear day, you can see Montserrat
and the Pyrenees. Parc de Collserola • Check website for opening hours •
