Late afternoon view across Plaza de Castilla with the Obelisco de la Caja, designed by Santiago Calatrava, in NE direction. The twin towers of the Puerta de Europa, completed in 1996, are 115 m high and inclined by 15 degrees. The Monumento a Calvo Sotelo, shown in the foreground of the scene, dates back to Francoist times.
