Torre del Reformador, Steel tower in Zone 9, Guatemala City, Guatemala.
The 75-meter steel framework structure stands at the intersection of 7th Avenue and 2nd Street, featuring a distinctive metal lattice design.
The tower was erected in 1935 to commemorate the centennial of President Justo Rufino Barrios, who implemented major reforms in Guatemala.
The structure represents an architectural connection between Guatemala and France, as it replicates the engineering principles of the Eiffel Tower.
The tower serves as a navigation beacon for aircraft approaching La Aurora International Airport, with its light visible from considerable distances.
The Belgian government donated the original bell that hung in the tower until 1986, when it was replaced with an aviation beacon.
