However, it\u2019s most famous for featuring Spain\u2019s highest helipad. If you\u2019re staying in a <u>Barcelona holiday rental<\/u> nearby, it\u2019s worth popping out after sundown to see it all lit up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-185355\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/agbar_vigas_radiales.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Torre Agbar <\/strong><strong>\u2014 144m<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Opened in 2005, Torre Agbar is one of the newest skyscrapers in Barcelona.
