Torres de Satélite

I love these towers and I really wanted to go inside to the top but I am pretty sure you can't do that despite there being a little door on the sides. When I was flying back out of Mexico City I was seated at the window and I was looking out and I saw them from above and I was like wow!!!! I can see Satélite from here!!!

The iconic symbol of Satelite City in the State of Mexico. They were created by the sculptor Mathias Goeritz, the architect Luis Barrragán and the paintor Chucho Reyes Ferreira. It was a request from the architect Mario Pani in charge of the new urban area called Satelite City in 1957. They are beautiful and they represent the expansion of Mexico City by reaching the State of Mexico.

One of Barragan's great works. Although impossible to reach on foot, driving past it is quite an experience.

It's an I come for a nice area well known in Mexico City, sometime government spend (or justify) some money and take care of the gardens and light them up, then it's nice place, some others they do not care and is outgrown bushes and dark area at night.

Such a total point of reference to Satélite area. I'm happy they kept their majesty when the Periférico got its second floor. But I agree with other comments: it's really hard to get to them without been hit by a car and that it's only if you are driving one. On foot they are almost impossible to reach, just saying

It's an amazing monument and has a grand background as an architectural reference in Mexico City built by Luis Barragán . It has an important historical relevance nevertheless it requires a bit of maintenance. This is considered a symbolic landmark for Mexico city, however, is not in Mexico city
