Buildings
[edit ]Ciudad Madero has a beach named "Playa Miramar", which, in recent years, has been expanding its services with new hotels and restaurants. Near the beach there is a lighthouse, named "Faro de Ciudad Madero" – although this has been replaced by a red beacon light atop a small tower, to guide approaching ships in to the channel of the Río Pánuco. However, in October 2006, the Ciudad Madero Planning Commission signaled its intention to build a new lighthouse because of the cultural and tourist values it would provide.[citation needed ]
At the Santa Cruz Church [fr] the roof collapsed during a baptism ceremony on 1 October 2023. Ten people were killed and over 60 were injured.[1]
