Torre Latino Americana Photo

Photographer’s Note

From up here you get the nicest view over the city, at least when there is not to much smog.

Many think this was the first Mexican skyscraper. However, skyscrapers may have first appeared in Mexico City between 1910 and 1935. The tallest of the time, the International Capital Building (Edificio Internacional de Capitalización) was completed in 1935. This building was surpassed by the Latinoamericana Tower, that opened its doors on April 30, 1956. It was then the tallest building in Latin America, and the fourth in height in the world outside New York.
