The Space-Time Towers (Japanese: 時空の塔 Space-Time Towers) are two anime-exclusive buildings located in Alamos, Sinnoh. They first appeared in A Secret Sphere of Influence, albeit as a diorama in the Eterna Historical Museum, and then had a major role in The Rise of Darkrai. The Space-Time Towers were designed by Godey. Besides being buildings, they are the largest musical instrument of the Pokémon world.
Within the Space Tower (Japanese: 空間の塔 Space Tower) are large spheres rotating on orbits. Within the Time Tower (Japanese: 時間の塔 Time Tower) are large pendulums. Outside in between the two towers is a long and thin winding staircase, leading up to the top of the tower. On the topmost floor lies a large machine that plays music by inserting special disks into a place-holder and pulling a lever. This is a similar function as a piano, but the strings are aligned in a cylinder.
The Space-Time Towers were vital for the safety of Alamos Town during the events of The Rise of Darkrai. When played, the song Oración, being able to calm the fiercest rage, soothes Dialga and Palkia and saves Alamos from destruction. It also serves as a Contest Hall, attracting many Coordinators who wish to compete in the Alamos Town Pokémon Contest.
The towers later appeared in flashbacks in both Giratina and the Sky Warrior and Arceus and the Jewel of Life. They also briefly appeared in I Choose You!, which is set in a timeline different from the main series.

Trivia
- The Space-Time Towers are based on the Sagrada Família, a Roman Catholic cathedral designed by Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona, Spain.
- On top of Space Tower are round sculptures, which corresponds to Palkia's pearls, while on top of Time Tower the sculptures are angular, which corresponds to Dialga's diamond.
- On the wall that features Alicia in the center of the Space-Time Towers, there are many Pokémon and their counterparts on the opposite side of Alicia. They are: Solrock and Lunatone, Dustox and Beautifly, Gallade and Gardevoir, Volbeat and Illumise, Zangoose and Seviper, Electivire and Magmortar, Plusle and Minun, Wormadam and Mothim, Leafeon and Glaceon, and the two variants of Gastrodon.
