The Structure Formerly Known as The English Tower
Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The story seems to be that this tower was a gift from the British residents of Buenos Aires to the people of Argentina to mark the 100th anniversey of Argentine independence. The gift was announced around 1909-1901, but the tower was not fully completed until around 1915 or 1916. I'm not sure of the name in Spanish, but can be translated as (roughly) "The English Tower".
After the 1982 war, the tower was renamed. I'm also unsure of the current name in Spanish, but it can be translated (roughly) as Monument Tower.
