Petronas Towers In Malaysia

The epitomy of coeval KL are the central office of the national oil and gas company Petronas, these shimmering stainless steel-clad towers. The meteoric rise of the city from tin-miners' hovel to 21st-century city for they are the perfect allegory, resembling twin silver rockets plucked from an episode of Flash Gordon. You are able to buy in approach in person for the next day, or up to a month in advance online. Tickets go on sale at 7am and sell out fast.

Making them the seventh-highest built constructions in the world (as of 2010), opened in 1998, the 88-storey twin towers are nearly 452m tall. Configured by Argentinian architect Cesar Pelli, the twin towers' floor plan is based on an eight-sided star that echoes arabesque designs. calling to mind the minarets of a mosque and the Star of Islam, Islamic molds are also evident in each tower's five tiers – representing the five pillars of Islam – and in the 63m masts that crown them.
