  The Torre Europa is a skyscraper built by Necso in the AZCA complex in Madrid, Spain. It is 121 metres (397 ft) high and has 30 floors.
  
  ## History
  
  Completed in 1985, it was designed by Miguel Oriol e Ybarra and built by Necso. The terrorist organization ETA threatened to destroy the building on 1 May 2002 with 20 kilograms (44 lb) of high explosive. In 2020, Torre Europa underwent a change of ownership when AGIB Real Estate acquired the tower from Infinorsa. Following the transition, the building has since faced neglect and entered a state of decay.
  
  ## In fiction
  
  The outdoor scenes of the 2005 film El método were shot by Torre Europa.
