Locals are proud of it, drivers use it as a reference point, and tourists dream of touch it. The real symbol of Naucalpan is the “Satellite Towers” installed by the sculptor, artist, and architect. Authors themselves called their creation, “The emotional art of architecture”. These are a Mexican sculptor of German origin Werner Mathias Göeritz Brunner, talented self-taught artist Chucho Reyes Ferreira, and architect Luis Ramiro Barragán Morfín. The famous urban planner Mario Pani Darqui asked Luis to help him. Earlier, he created an ambitious project of the elite residential area “Ciudad Satélite”.

The medieval towers of the Italian city of San Gimignano were the project's inspiration . Initially, the architectural ensemble was supposed to have seven towers up to two hundred meters high. Unfortunately, this project was over the original budget, so the number of towers was reduced to five. The maximum height reached only 52 meters. In the spring of 1958, triangular prisms of different sizes and colors were erected in Ciudad Satélite.

Five urban sculptures are located on the inclined surface. They look like needles directed to the sky. Due to the hollow construction and the lack of upper edges, they seem to be light and airy from a bird's-eye view.

Originally, all the towers were painted white and yellow. But in 1968, they were chosen as a symbol of the Olympic Games. On this occasion, Werner Mathias Göeritz Brunner colored them in orange to reach a contrast with the blue sky. After the Olympics, the sculptor finally chose the colors for his masterpiece. In 1989, the companies Nervión and Bayer de México repainted sculptures in white, yellow, red, and blue.

Today, Satellite Towers are the pride of Naucalpan and a symbol of the Mexican people’s power and strength.
