Petronas Twin Towers were once the tallest buildings in the world. Now the world s tallest twin structures, the 88-storey buildings were designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates with both towers joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 58 metre-long, double-decker Sky Bridge.

Standing 452 metres tall, the Petronas Twin Towers retained its world-title claim to fame until 2004 when Taipei's 101 was built, measuring 508 metres tall. Today, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (opened in 2010) retains the spot as the world s tallest building. Located in the KL city centre, the Petronas Twin Towers architecture is Islamic-inspired and the buildings primarily house the corporate headquarters of the Petronas Company and other offices.
