Parque Central Complex

Parque Central Complex is a large building ensemble with twin towers reaching 225 meters in the El Conde neighborhood. The complex contains residential units, commercial spaces, offices, and several public institutions spread across the site.

Construction started in 1970 with the initial residential buildings, followed by the west tower in 1979 and the east tower in 1983. Engineer Henrique Siso Maury played a key role in designing these structures.

The complex houses two significant museums: the Museum of Contemporary Art of Caracas and the Children's Museum, both offering regular exhibitions and programs. These institutions have shaped how locals and visitors experience culture in the city.

The complex is well connected to the Caracas Metro system, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors can find various shops, restaurants, and services throughout the site, though it is best to check opening hours in advance.

The twin towers held the record as the tallest buildings in Latin America from 1979 until 2003, when Mexico City's Torre Mayor surpassed them. This period made the complex an emblem of architectural ambition across the region.
