The 54-story Ponte City Apartments in Johannesburg, South Africa is one of the country's most iconic skyscrapers

The 54-story Ponte City Apartments in Johannesburg, South Africa is one of the country's most iconic skyscrapers. Once known as one of the poshest addresses in the country, the cylindrical tower has been in a state of disrepair and decay due to years of neglect. It is in South Africa one of the richest and most powerful countries in Africa.

The 54-story cylindrical tower dominating the Johannesburg skyline, the Ponte City Apartments (or Ponte Tower) is the tallest residential building in Africa. It is also crowned by the largest advertisement sign in the southern hemisphere. But even with all the superlatives awarded to the iconic tower, Ponte City has suffered from years of neglect and disrepair, its imposing structure a symbol of urban decay.
