Monclova, Industrial municipality in Coahuila, Mexico

Located in the northeastern region of Mexico, Monclova stands at 606 meters above sea level along the Salado de los Nadadores River.

Founded in 1689 by Alonso de León, Monclova served as the capital of Nueva Extremadura province during the colonial period of Mexico.

The Santiago Apostol Parish Church and San Francisco de Asis Parish Church represent the religious architectural heritage of this Mexican municipality.

The city connects to major destinations through railways and highways, linking Piedras Negras at the United States border, Saltillo, and Monterrey.

This municipality houses one of Mexico's largest steelworks, established in 1944, using ore from Durango and coking coal from Sabinas.
