Another interesting piece of History and Engineering. The Fosca broke the 18 story barrier for reinforced concrete at the time of its construction in 1956. It was only able to live its intended purpose for 3 short years. This like all other stolen private property is in the hands of the perpetrators; the Communist government of Cuba. This like the majority of all buildings in Cuba are in a dilapidated state due to the failure of the Communist system.
