Monterrey, Mexico
Faro del Comercio
Faro del Comercio is a monument designed by the accomplished Mexican architect Luis Barragán and constructed in 1984 by architect Raúl Ferrera. It is a recognizable sight in Monterrey among many other modern manmade landmarks, such as Neptune's Fountain, the Monterrey City Hall, the Papal Bridge, and the Bridge of Unity 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 and Museum, the City's Cathedral, the Central Post Office, and the State of Nuevo León Government building, on the north end of the Macroplaza.
