The houses with a spire (Ukrainian: Будинки зі шпилем; Russian: Дома со шпилем) are two multi-storey buildings topped with spires that are among the main attractions of the city of Mariupol, Ukraine. They are located opposite of each other at the junction of Kuindzhi Street and Peace Avenue, Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, and serve as a visual gate, also called "Mariupol twins". Both buildings can be seen even from the Azov Sea.
Overlooking the central square of the city, Theater Square, these symmetrical houses are representatives of the late Stalinist era. They are dominated by seven-storey towers against the background of four and five storey buildings used for residential and commercial purposes.
