It was built for the 1929 World's fair, but it was not completed until 1931. It was meant to show off the city during the fair and it's impressive views. This Wikipedia entry is in English. "Torre Jaume I is a 107 metre (351 feet) high steel truss tower in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, which was built in 1931 by Carlos Boigas. The tower is the second-tallest aerial lift pylon in the world, and is a part of the Port Vell Aerial Tramway from Torre Sant Sebastia to Montjuïc. Torre Jaume I also has an observation platform."
