Mirador del Obispado

Mirador del Obispado, Scenic viewpoint on Cerro del Obispado, Monterrey, Mexico

Mirador del Obispado is a scenic viewpoint at the summit of Cerro del Obispado featuring a circular esplanade with panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains in every direction. The site is equipped with modern pathways and lighting to make the visit comfortable.

The site originated from a Bishop's Palace built in the late 18th century at the hill's mid-slope. This structure established the location as an important observation point for the region.

The hill and lookout take their name from the Palacio del Obispado, built in the late 18th century on the hillside. The flagpole was inaugurated on 24 February 2005, Mexican Flag Day. Flag Day, Independence Day on 16 September and Army Day on 19 February are marked with ceremonies that can include light shows, fireworks and regional dances.

The main road to the summit is wide and well lit, and cars may drive up, but the main parking lot sits at the park entrance; a small lot at the top is reserved mainly for people with disabilities. The esplanade has benches, restrooms and drinking fountains.

The flagpole weighs 120 metric tons and stands 100.6 metres tall, while the cloth measures 50 by 28.6 metres and weighs 230 kilograms, roughly double the size of most monumental flags. It was inaugurated on 24 February 2005 for Mexican Flag Day and is now the country's second largest, after the one in Piedras Negras, Coahuila.
