Turning Torso is a residential skyscraper located in the Swedish city of Malmö. It is the tallest building in Sweden, standing at a height of 190 meters (623 feet) with 54 floors. The building was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and construction began in 2001, with the building officially opening in August 2005.

The tower is constructed with a unique design, twisting 90 degrees from its base to its top, giving it its distinctive appearance. The tower is built to withstand strong winds and earthquakes, and it has been designed to be energy-efficient, with solar panels located on the roof to generate electricity.

Turning Torso is primarily a residential building, with a mix of rental and owner-occupied apartments, as well as office and conference facilities on the lower floors. The tower offers a wide range of amenities to its residents, including a fitness center, sauna, spa, and a rooftop garden.

The tower has become a symbol of Malmö and a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world. Visitors can take guided tours of the building to learn more about its history and design, as well as enjoy the panoramic views of the city and the Öresund strait from the top of the tower.
