We’re not sure if this particular spot feels like we’re looking into a glimpse of the future or the past. Built in the 1960s, the only way to describe these unique buildings are as a ‘concrete jungle’. What you’re actually looking at is five interconnecting residential towers. You can see why it has been lovingly nicknamed as Monster Buildings by the locals. As before, just remember that these are people’s homes so please be respectful at all times.
