The Faro del Comercio is a tall red-orange steel monument in Monterrey’s Macroplaza. It was designed by Luis Barragán and Raúl Ferrera, and it is known as a modern landmark of the city.

For learners, the monument is useful because it represents a major civic symbol outside Mexico City. It is tied to Monterrey’s urban identity and to modern Mexican architecture rather than to an independence or revolution hero.
