Tampico Mexico Temple

The Tampico Mexico Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The intent to build the temple was announced by the First Presidency on July 8, 1998. It is the seventh in Mexico and the church's 83rd operating temple worldwide. Located on a site locally known as "Cerro de Conejos" or "Rabbit Hill," the temple has a single spire with a statue of the angel Moroni on top, with the exterior being Blanco Guardiano white marble from Torreón, Mexico. The temple was designed by architect Alvaro Inigo and the church's architectural and engineering personnel. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 28, 1998, conducted by Eran A. Call, a General Authority Seventy and counselor in the Mexico South Area presidency. The temple was dedicated on May 20, 2000, by Thomas S. Monson, first counselor in the First Presidency.
