Government Center Tower (San Salvador) Explained

Government Center Tower is a building located in the city of San Salvador, El Salvador. It houses the offices of the Ministry of the Interior.

Designed by French-born Salvadoran architect Manuel Roberto Meléndez Bischitz (1934-2011), its construction began during the tenure of Colonel Arturo Armando Molina and became operational during the tenure of President General Carlos Humberto Romero in 1980.
