    The New York based Travel+Leisure Magazine puts the Turning Torso in Malmo third on their list of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the world. On the magazine’s website, rankings of all kinds can be found, but we were happy when we saw Turning Torso, the 623 feet tall building that was designed by Santiago Calatrava, on the third spot after 1. New York by Gehry, in New York City and 2. Burj Khalifa, in Dubai.
