Manga de Clavo, Historic hacienda in Vargas, Mexico
The foundations and stone ruins of Manga de Clavo hacienda spread across the landscape near Veracruz, with a deep well marking its central location.
Antonio López de Santa Anna acquired this hacienda in 1825 and transformed it into a strategic residence that served as both his home and government headquarters.
The Marquise Calderón de la Barca's written accounts of her visits to Manga de Clavo provide detailed descriptions of nineteenth-century Mexican hacienda life.
The remains of the hacienda lie approximately 19 miles from Veracruz city, accessible through local roads leading to the town of Vargas.
Santa Anna temporarily buried his amputated left leg on the hacienda grounds before transferring it to a cemetery in Mexico City.
