Lonely Planet review for Turning Torso
This controversial, 190m-high residential and conference tower was completed in November 2005 and stands in the heart of the rapidly expanding ‘docklands’ of Malmö’s western harbour. Based on a work of sculpture by the architect himself, Spaniard Santiago Calatrava, the tower’s 54 storeys twist 90 degrees as they climb upwards, creating an extraordinary effect – particularly if you stand at its base. The tower is not open to the general public but there is a gallery and small shopping centre next door.
