Monclova, Coahuila
Monclova is one of the most important cities in the state, and has very unique characteristics. This city is the premier producer of Mexican steel, and for this reason it is nicknamed "The Steel Capital".
It seems that such a large industrial city would have little to offer of interest to travelers, but Monclova is actually a beautiful city with vast historical and cultural wealth.
Some of the more important monuments and buildings are the following: Santiago Apóstol Parish, the Coahuila-Texas Museum, the Zapopan Hermitage, the Polvorín (Gun Powder) Museum, the San Francisco de Asis Parish, the Harold Pape Museum, the Mini-Pape Museum, the Pape Library, The Monclova Meteorological Observatory, the Moncolva Astronomy Observatory (the largest in Coahuila), the Baseball Stadium, and the Coahuila Racetrack (the only one in Mexico and Latin America that has the U.S. IHRA certification).
Other interesting options in the city are Xochipilli Park, Xochipilli II Park, the Santiago de la Monclava Zoo and the "El Socorro" Golf Club.
