 Petronas Twin Towers were once the tallest buildings in
the world. Now the world’s tallest twin structures, the 88-storey
buildings were designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates with both
towers joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street
level) by a 58 metre-long, double-decker Sky Bridge.
Standing 452 metres tall, the Petronas Twin Towers
retained its world-title claim to fame until 2004 when Taipei's
101 was built, measuring 508 metres tall. Today, the Burj
Khalifa in Dubai (opened in 2010) retains the spot as the
world’s tallest building. Located in the KL city centre,
the Petronas Twin Towers’ architecture is Islamic-inspired and
the buildings primarily house the corporate headquarters of
the Petronas Company and other offices.

the tower in the form of transmitters.
