List of tallest buildings and structures in Barcelona
- List of tallest buildings and structures in Barcelona
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia and second biggest urban area in Spain in terms of both size and population, still remains a city without many tall structures, partly due to the protected status of most of its central area - Eixample.
Even so, the recent trend in architecture in recent years has been promoting the construction of high-rise buildings as part of a wider modernisation plan that's been taking place since 1992, the year the Olympic games were held in Barcelona.
The second tallest structure in the city is incidentally a world-famous religious building (Sagrada Família) that happens to be unfinished.
