Built between 1948 and 1956, the Latin American Tower, with 44 floors, was for many years the highest building of the city. While it was being built, many people felt that a tower of that height would not be able to withstand Mexico City’s frequent earthquakes, however this was put to the test in 1957 and again in 1985, and the building suffered no damage in either major quake.
