THE TALLEST BUILDINGS IN EUROPE

This list of tallest buildings in Europe ranks skyscrapers in Europe by height. Initially, only a few major financial centres, such as London, Paris, Frankfurt, Warsaw and Moscow contained skyscrapers. In recent years, however, skyscraper construction has spread to many other cities, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Istanbul, Katowice, Lisbon,Madrid, Milan, Naples, Rotterdam, Valencia and others.

The Shard in London was topped out on 30 March 2012. As of June 2012 it is the tallest (habitable) building in Europe. The Mercury City Tower is as of July 2012 the tallest uncompleted skyscraper in Europe. The Warsaw Radio Mast, a guyed mast for longwave broadcasting, at 646 m (2,119 ft) remains the tallest construction to have been built in Europe, though it collapsed in 1991 and no longer stands.
Other tall European skyscrapers

This lists ranks skyscrapers in Europe that stand at least 140 metres (459 ft) tall, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. Existing structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height. This list includes buildings under construction that have already been topped out.
