The Petronas Twin Towers, in the country’s capital, is a top Kuala Lumpur tourist attraction. Up until 2004, it was the world’s tallest building. While then surpassed by Taiwan’s Taipei 101, it remains the tallest twin buildings in the world. The 88-floor towers’ steel and glass façade was designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art. Its main feature is the double-decked skybridge which connects the two towers, and symbolizes a gateway to the future.
