Dominating Malmö’s skyline, the 623-foot (190-meter) Turning Torso stands as the tallest building in Scandinavia. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, this striking structure is composed of nine 5-story pentagons, with its top segment twisting 90 degrees from the base. The unique design not only offers a visually arresting silhouette but also provides visitors with panoramic views of the city and the Öresund Strait. Today, the Turning Torso serves as a symbol of modern architecture and a testament to engineering innovation.
