The Parque Central Complex is a housing, commercial and cultural development, implemented by Centro Simón Bolívar and located in El Conde in the center of the city of Caracas, Venezuela adjacent to Paseo Vargas.
Within the complex are the Parque Central Twin Towers, two skyscrapers that have for decades been an architectural icon of Caracas and its tallest buildings. From 1979 (when the West Tower was opened) until 2003, they held the title of tallest skyscrapers in Latin America until they were overtaken by Torre Mayor in Mexico City. Today (as of April 2020) the Parque Central Towers are South America's 6th tallest skyscrapers and the 22nd tallest in Latin America, after Torres Obispado in Monterrey, Gran Torre Santiago in Santiago (Chile), and many buildings in Panama City, Mexico City, and Balneário Camboriú. Parque Central towers were the tallest twin buildings in Latin America, though they have since been overtaken by the Edifício Yachthouse in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil.[citation needed]
When the complex was finally opened in 1983, it was considered[by whom?] the "most important urban development in Latin America". Since then Parque Central has been a point of reference in Caracas and its main landmark. It houses many cultural and government institutions and is adjacent to the cultural district of museums in Caracas.
