Bulls, wrestling events, and even concerts were part of the events in which four -way bullfighting was the host. However, with the creation of new cultural enclosures with locations closest to the city center, bullfighting quickly fell in abandonmentuntil its demolition in 2008. A shopping center currently occupies the place.
Contemporary Art Cultural Center
The Architecture firm of Sordo Madaleno y Asociados was responsible for designing the contemporary Art Cultural Center, although initially it was not intended for museography or culture, but as the National Press Center. With eight years as a journalistic enclosure, and another 14 as a cultural, the CCAC became part of the urban image of Polanco. Born in the 80s, The building remained a banner of Mexican modern architecture for its linear, sober and clean design, as well as for the presence of concrete and glass as regent materials.
But since nothing in life is eternal, The Contemporary Art Cultural Center said goodbye to city life in 2006to give way to a 24 -level tower, which is part of the intercontinental hotel. Even so, and with more than 15 years since their farewell, many continue to remember who, at the time, hosted the Televisa Cultural Foundation and drew the Skyline of the best CDMX areas.
Hotel Regis
The earthquake of September 19, 1985 was not only the cause of affecting the Plaza Condesa for years, it also ended with the fame of the Hotel Regis, the most important in Mexico City Since the 50s. Hotel Regis was located in the center of the city, one of the areas most affected by the earthquake. With a mixture between Art Decó architecture and Art Nouveau, the hotel lived the splendor of a fashionable city, full of celebrities and international stature events. What hurts the most when he remembers it, is that his luxury and magnificence have ended in such a painful and difficult way for all the capitalists.
Mier house
The last of the emblematic buildings of the CDMX is so important that it is still remembered despite the fact that the construction that happened is even more iconic. This is the Casa Mier, a house of The Mier family who occupied large land from the Tacubaya neighborhood In the nineteenth century. The property was so vast that there were several buildings distributed throughout it, including the famous «Arc del Triunfo», as was known by the locals. Naturally, with population growth and the division of the land of the city, the Mier ended up demolishing their constructions.
Then, the Ermita building replaced the fame that for so many accompanied the Casa Mier, and to date it stands as one of the most important and still preserved Mexican art deco buildings in Mexico City.
