The Four Towers

The Four Towers
Currently the tallest building in Spain (the one on the left, a Foster creation, as if I needed to add this!) . There have been plans to build many more on this site but minor irritations such as the Recession, corruption scandals, etc keep getting in the way!!!!
These towers were built between 2005 and 8, The site for their construction was purchased from Real Madrid's President, Florentino Perez, at an incredibly inflated sum which some say was the Con of the Century'. Madrid's Municipal Authority bought half. The site was that of Real Madrid's former training ground. Florentino Perez went on a spending spree buying all those 'Galacticos'!

As you know it polarises people. I like much, but not all, of it!

A really well taken image............I live the mix of modern architcture with the not-so-modern wall and the trees and flowers. So many different shapes, colours and textures.

The foreground area will become like the background area eventually. Indeed, work should have started 10 years ago but the recession got in the way of that!
