Editing San Salvador (section)

==Architecture==
San Salvador's colonial structures, especially its colonial cathedrals, have been destroyed over time by historic earthquakes, consequently Modernist and Gothic style cathedrals have taken their place. During the [[Salvadoran civil war]], large building construction projects were halted and eventually cancelled due to the collapse of the economy; the remainder of [[Modern architecture#Early modernism|early Modernist]] office and hotel buildings collapsed during the [[1986 San Salvador earthquake]] and the [[January 2001 El Salvador earthquake|January 2001]] and [[February 2001 El Salvador earthquake|February 2001]] El Salvador earthquakes, while the few remaining old buildings were left uninhabitable. Only a few large structures have survived the earthquakes, including the Sheraton Presidente San Salvador Hotel and the
Hilton Princess San Salvador Hotel. The seismic nature of the San Salvador area has until recently hindered the construction of high rise buildings and skyscrapers in the city; however, with new technological advances and the advent of [[earthquake-resistant structures]], high rise buildings have begun rising over San Salvador. Today the city has monuments, plazas, stadiums, high rise buildings, large malls and cathedrals built in Neo-Gothic, Modernist, [[Populuxe]], Googie, [[Streamline Moderne]], Art Deco and Futurist style architecture.
