Torres de Satélite, Concrete tower sculptures at Anillo Periférico entrance, Naucalpan de Juárez, Mexico.

The five triangular concrete towers stand at different heights, ranging from 30 to 52 meters, painted in red, blue, yellow, and white colors.

Construction began in 1957 under architect Luis Barragán, with the towers completed and inaugurated in March 1958 as markers of Ciudad Satélite development.

The structures represent Mexico's early urban sculpture movement, combining architectural and artistic elements in a prominent highway location.

Visitors can observe the towers from surrounding areas, with a small parking area available near the traffic circle on Anillo Periférico.

The towers create varying visual perceptions based on viewing angles, enhanced by concrete grooves placed at one-meter intervals throughout their surfaces.

Location: Naucalpan de Juárez Municipality

Creator: Luis Barragán
