Avaz Twist Tower is the tallest building in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in Sarajevo, and it is the headquarters of the Bosnian newspaper company Dnevni Avaz. Since it is the tallest building in the country, it offers a fantastic view of the capital city.
Nevertheless, the tower can be seen from a distance around the city, which makes it quite a landmark. It is 175 m (574 ft) tall, with 36 floors, of which 5 are basement floors. The architect of the building is Faruk Kapidžić.
Construction began in 2003 and was finished in 2008. There are impressive 32,000 sq m (344,445 sq ft) of floor space, with its twisted façade and powerful field-scopes on the 36th floor being the most unique features.
