The “Estela de Luz” (Pillar of Light) is a monument in Mexico City built in 2011 to commemorate the bicentenary of Mexico's independence from Spanish rule. Its design was the winning entry in an open contest to seek the best combination of Mexico's past and future. Though it is a tall structure, it was not built to be the tallest and in fact was built near the Torre Mayor which is the tallest building in Mexico. The tower is 104 meters high and contains 1,704 panels formed of two plates of quartz and electric lighting.
The tower was unveiled 16 months after the anniversary it was built to commemorate.
One thing is clear: The Pillar of Light may have a long way to go to be considered like the Angel of Independence, erected in 1910 to mark Mexico's first 100 years but it is something that will forever go down in history.
