The Twin Towers, formally known as the World Trade Center towers, were iconic skyscrapers located in New York City. Each tower had 110 stories, including the ground floor and the observation deck on the 102nd floor. The Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world from their completion in 1973 until the construction of the original One World Trade Center in 1974.
The Twin Towers were a symbol of American economic and political power, and their destruction in the 9/11 terrorist attacks was a major turning point in world history. The site of the Twin Towers is now occupied by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, which commemorates the victims of the attacks.
