Hola,
I’ll share an icon in Mexico City, the Revolution Monument or Monumento a la Revolución is also known as the Arch of the Revolution.
It was built to commemorate the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, which is on November 20th.
It is one of the capital’s architectural must-sees.
The construction of the Monument began in 1932 and took six years to complete. It was designed by architect Carlos Obregón Santacilia.
There is a museum downstairs, you can also go to the top.
@Ale_003 thanks for sharing a historic place. Love the pics
@sparekh Thank you 
Hi Amiga Alejandra @Ale_003
It was built long time ago.
What type of Labor was use, e.g. Forced Labour or paid Labour?
Was concrete used in building it or was it done entirely on masonry brickwork.
What materials were use? Locally sourced or foreign?
This are my humble questions Amiga Alejandra.
Gracias.
@Ale_003 Thanks for sharing! I like Historical Landmarks! I wonder how tall is the monument? It looks gigantic!
Yeah, it is 220 feet tall @Reisen
@Ale_003 Wow! That is huge! Thanks for the information!
Hola Amigo @Austinelewex
It has massive steel beams and trusses that hold the whole thing together, covered with bricks they also has rivets that were placed by Mexican labor, one by one, at temperatures that kept them red-hot.
It was rebuilt in 2010 andmore elements were added, glass elevator now runs up through the central axis of the monument, all the way up to an observation deck inside the cupola. A whole section of the original structure was also deliberately left exposed and is now open to the public via short tours. 
Hi @Ale_003
Thanks for sharing. The monument is really impressive and grand. I’m sure it makes amazing photos. I love the second photo with all the people. How did you photograph it by the way? It looks like you’re somewhere higher?
