Monterrey, Major industrial city in northeastern Mexico.

Monterrey extends across a valley flanked by mountains, including the Cerro de la Silla peak, forming the third largest metropolitan area in Mexico.

Founded in 1596 by Diego de Montemayor, the city transformed from a small colonial settlement into Mexico's industrial center during the nineteenth century.

The Macroplaza features museums, government buildings, and the Mexican History Museum, spanning 40 hectares through the central district of Monterrey.

The Monterrey International Airport connects to 38 destinations across Mexico and the United States, serving over 11 million passengers annually.

The Parque Fundidora occupies a former steel plant, incorporating industrial structures into green spaces, walking paths, and an ice skating rink.
