Of course, the most famous in the world of oblique architectural structure is "falling" tower in Pisa. Madrid boasts not one but two such objects - skyscrapers "Gate of Europe» (Puerta de Europa). And if Pisa Tower deviates from vertical axis due to natural processes, the Madrid giants forced "to bow" to each other and exact calculation of creative genius of their creators - American architects Philip Johnson and John Berge.
In 1996 they decided to defy the Earth's gravity and exact geometry of right angles, with the result that appeared on Plaza de Castilla world's first inclined twin towers, rejected from vertical to 15 degrees. The efforts of the Americans were not in vain: "Gate of Europe" immediately became one of the most visited attractions in Madrid.
