The Petronas Towers, located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are an iconic pair of skyscrapers that once held the title of the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004. Designed by Argentine architect César Pelli, the towers stand at a height of 451.9 meters (1,483 feet) and feature 88 floors made primarily of reinforced concrete, steel, and glass. The design of the buildings draws inspiration from Islamic art and architecture, reflecting Malaysia's cultural heritage. A distinctive feature of the Petronas Towers is the Skybridge, which connects the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors, offering panoramic views of the city.
