Torre Agbar in Barcelona, Spain Edit 1 (ISS pixels removed) Reason This is a very high res vertical panoramic image of a landmark skyscraper building in Barcelona. Being a somewhat simple cropped side-on view, the wow factor may be somewhat low, but the wow for me is in the amazing detail and architecture, somewhat reminiscent of the 30 St Mary Axe building in London but also very distinct.
Torre Agbar received the award and was preceded and followed by the other two buildings in the silver award category. Dr.K. 17:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Thanks! AdeMiami 17:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC) You are very welcome. Take care. Dr.K. 18:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Plaça de les Glòries, which was then well outside the city, was originally featured in the mid-19th-century Cerdà plan for Barcelona, intended as a large public square in a new city centre, but it remained sparsely developed, turning into one of Barcelona's major road and railway junctions.
