Torre de Cristal Building

Address: Paseo de la Castellana 259, 28046 Madrid, Spain

Torre de Cristal is a modern office skyscraper in Madrid’s Cuatro Torres Business Area on Paseo de la Castellana and is among the city’s tallest buildings. The tower is distinguished by its glazed facade and slender, tapering form.

The building has over 50 floors and was completed in the late 2000s as part of a four-tower commercial cluster that reshaped Madrid’s northern skyline. It primarily houses offices and corporate spaces rather than public attractions.

Torre de Cristal sits in the northern business district of Madrid within the Community of Madrid and is directly adjacent to the other Cuatro Torres structures.

• Height and location: At about 249 metres, it is one of Madrid’s tallest towers and forms part of the Cuatro Torres Business Area along Paseo de la Castellana.

Torre de Cristal is one of the Cuatro Torres in Madrid’s Paseo de la Castellana business district. Take Madrid Metro line 10 to Cuzco or Nuevos Ministerios station - Nuevos Ministerios is a major interchange and is about a 10-15 minute walk to the towers, while Cuzco is closer (a few minutes’ walk). By car the towers are directly on Paseo de la Castellana north of central Madrid (a short 10-20 minute drive from central districts, depending on traffic).

• Visit the Cuatro Torres Business Area around golden hour for the best reflective photos of Torre de Cristal from the surrounding parkland - the tower's glass façade is most striking at sunset.
• Approach on foot from Plaza de Castilla (served by several metro and bus lines) to avoid car parking and to get good frontal views across the landscaped plaza and water features.
• Note that Torre de Cristal is primarily office space with no public observation deck; instead, explore the landscaped areas between the towers and the plaza for the best public viewpoints and architectural details.
