Macroplaza
A monument to Monterrey’s ambition, this city-block-wide series of interconnected squares, also known as the Macroplaza, was created in the 1980s by the demolition of a prime chunk of city-center real estate. A controversial, but ultimately successful, piece of redevelopment, its charm has increased over the years as once-naked urban space has been softened by parks, trees, fountains and pools, though it still feels like several parks rather than one.

Parque Fundidora
Formerly a vast steel-factory complex, this once-blighted industrial zone has been transformed into a huge urban park that encompasses a variety of attractions, including many that will appeal to children. Cleverly, the park designers retained rusting smoke stacks and other industrial relics, giving a postmodern, apocalyptic feel to parts of the place.

Catedral Metropolitano de Monterrey
Just north of Marco is the baroque facade of the Catedral Metropolitano de Monterrey, built in stages between about 1725 and the 1890s. The neon cross at the top just doesn’t seem out of place in Monterrey.
