Faro del Comercio, Monterrey

Monterrey


Faro del Comercio is a monument designed by the accomplished Mexican architect Luis Barragan and constructed in 1984 by architect Raul Ferrara. It is a recognizable sight in Monterrey among many other modern manmade landmarks, such as Neptune’s Fountain (Fuente de la Vida), the Hall, the Papal Bridge (El Puente del Papa), and the Bridge of Unity (Puente de la Unidad) in San Pedro, connecting that municipality to Monterrey. These sites are intended on one hand to complement the city’s few remaining traditional landmarks, such as, the Bishopric Palace (Palacio del Obispado) and Museum, the City’s Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora de Monterrey), the Central Post Office (old Hall), and the State of Nuevo Leon Government building, on the north end of the Macroplaza. On the other hand they are also intended to project an image of a city that prides itself as being the most progressive large industrial city of Mexico. vacations.
