The Courtyard

Few places are as emblematic of the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s as El Patio, the nightclub that hosted stars of all types and calibers, from José José and Luis Miguel to The Doors who were invited by Gustavo Díaz Ordaz's son to play in Mexico.

The place, incredibly elegant and with very expensive tickets, has been abandoned since the late 1990s and a building is currently being constructed on its site.

Insurgentes 300

Located halfway along Avenida de Los Insurgentes, very close to the roundabout of the same name and between several major roads, the Insurgentes 300 condominium has stood since the 1960s as a symbol of the modernity of a new and cosmopolitan Mexico City.

But shortly after its opening, the condominium ran into financial problems, and the residents took legal action to avoid eviction. Since then, the complex has been half-abandoned.
