The Peñol stone .vs. the Colteger's skyscraper

Ok, this is a short history of two monuments in the Paisa's culture. In this corner, the Colteger's skyscraper, in the other corner the Peñol stone. These aren't places, rather, they are things. The first is in a city, the second is in a town. Both are very large and important symbols in their origin places.

The Colteger's skyscraper is in Medellin, the most important city of Antioquia, a Colombia's departament. This is the tallest building in Medellin and the second building in Colombia, because the Colpatria's building (in Bogota) is tallest than this. Althougt, according to the skyscraper's definition this building can not be considered as a skyscraper; however, in my opinion this is a skyscraper, mainly, because It's an important symbol of our paisa culture. This building has many levels, 39 in total (including 3 basements). In this building, there are many offices and in the first levels there are stores, restaurants, groceries, banks and so on. This building is in the city's heard between houses, others buildings and main roads, the playa for example.


For other hand, we have the Peñol Stone. This isn´t a building or a house, as his name it says, It's a stone, a big, big stone. It's larger than the Colteger's building, since its height is 2135 meters opposite to the 220 meters of the Coltejer's building. According to the legend this is a meteorite that falls in Guatape, however, simply, is a monolithic formation, a very big formation, not something fallen of the sky. It's very strange that its name isn't the Guatape stone since it's in Guatape not in el Peñol, but, the actual name sounds better. In contrast to the Coltejer's Building in the Peñol Stone, there isn't elevator, there is 644 stairs it makes the ascent very difficult. In the top of the stone, there is a building in the center, furthermore, It's possible to look the beautiful landscape of Guatape and el Peñol. It's very pretty to look the dam and its small island. Finally the goverment declaret it National monument.
