The story of the Petronas Twin Towers

Designed by architect César Pelli and completed in 1998, the Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world until 2004, and they remain the tallest twin towers. Each tower has 88 floors.

The floor plan is based on an eight-pointed Islamic star, and the steel and glass façade shines in the tropical light. A double-deck skybridge joins the towers at the 41st and 42nd floors.
