Treptowers, Berlin

Three huge, human-like sculptures rise out of the water and behind them loom four even bigger buildings. Situated on the banks of the River Spree , these futuristic buildings are known as the Treptowers. The main building is the headquarters of the colossal German insurance company, Allianz and is home to its fantastic collection of modern art. Open to visitors once a month, art lovers can admire the works of twentieth century masters at heady heights and with fantastic views over the city. Occasionally, a light show turns the complex into an amazing festival of light.
