External work is almost complete on a new uniquely shaped tower in Ponferrada. Named the Torre de la Rosaleda the 100 metre high tower will be the tallest building in the region of Castilla y Leon. Built on flat land the tower will be visible from up to 50km away. Not quite as stunning as the castle!!
