A girl rides a bicycle on a balcony in the "Tower of David" skyscraper.
Locals call it "The Tower of David" — a regal-sounding name for what is commonly regarded as a 45-story squatter's paradise.
In 1994, the construction of the skyscraper was halted due to country-wide financial troubles. Squatters began calling it home not longe after ther. But last month, the government finally forced the tower's residents to evacuate.
For this week's Geo Quiz, we're looking for the name of the city where the "world's tallest squat" is located.
