Central Park (Caracas)

The Parque Central Urban Complex is a residential, commercial, cultural, recreational and financial development, executed by the Simón Bolívar Center and located in the El Conde Urbanization of Caracas, Libertador Municipality of the Capital District.

Within the complex are the Twin Towers of Parque Central, two office skyscrapers that for decades have become an icon of Venezuelan architecture and Caracas in particular. For more than 22 years, since 1979 (when the West Tower was inaugurated) until 2003, they bore the title of the tallest skyscrapers in Latin America, until they were surpassed by the Torre Mayor in Mexico City and in 2013 by the Great Tower Santiago of the Costanera Center complex of Santiago de Chile in South America.

Central Park from Fine Arts
When the complex was inaugurated in 1973 it was considered the "most important urban development in Latin America". Since then, the Central Park has been an obligatory reference in the central part of Caracas, its large number of governmental and cultural institutions, its location adjacent to the cultural zone of Caracas museums, and its proximity to the east of the city, interconnected by a system highway road and the Metro de Caracas, has granted a territorial appreciation for more than 30 years.
