Torre Latinoamericana, Skyscraper and observation deck in Historic Downtown, Mexico City
The Torre Latinoamericana rises 44 floors above Mexico City's center, featuring a steel frame construction and seven elevators for vertical transportation.
Built between 1948 and 1956, this structure marked a departure from traditional low-rise architecture and served as headquarters for La Latinoamericana insurance company.
The building functions as a central reference point in Mexico City, housing offices, a museum, restaurants, and an observation platform at 166 meters high.
Visitors can purchase tickets to access the observation deck on the top floor, which provides 360-degree views across the metropolitan area.
The building demonstrated exceptional structural engineering by remaining intact during two major earthquakes in 1985 and 2017, while nearby structures sustained damage.
