Petronas Twin Towers

The Petronas Twin Towers are the unmistakable landmark of the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur, affectionately called KL. The 88-story, 452-metre cylindrical towers were the tallest buildings in the world when they were completed in 1998, until Taiwan's Taipei 101 was built 60 metres taller in 2004.
