Monterrey Mexico Temple

The Monterrey Mexico Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Valle Alto, Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. The intent to build the temple was announced on December 27, 1995, by the First Presidency. It is the twelfth built in Mexico and the church's 110th operating temple worldwide. Located in the southeastern section of Monterrey along the National Highway near Cerro de la Silla, the temple is on an 8.2-acre property shared with a stake center. The white marble building was designed by Alvaro Inigo and has a single spire. Construction faced significant delays due to opposition from adjacent property owners of the initially selected site, ultimately leading to a relocation to Valle Alto nearly five years after the announcement. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 4, 2000, conducted by Lynn A. Mickelsen, a general authority and president of the church's Mexico North Area. The temple was dedicated on April 28, 2002, by church president Gordon B. Hinckley, in four sessions attended by 12,617 members.
