The Veracruz Mexico Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Boca del Río, Veracruz, Mexico. The intent to build the temple was announced by the First Presidency on April 14, 1999. It is the church's 93rd operating temple. The temple is on a 3.37-acre site less than half a kilometer from the Gulf of Mexico, with a meetinghouse also on the property. The building is 10,700 square feet and uses a classic modern design with the exterior being Blanco Guardiano white marble brought from Torreón, Mexico. The temple was designed by Alvaro Iñigo and church architectural personnel. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on May 29, 1999, conducted by Carl B. Pratt, a general authority and president of the Mexico South Area. The temple was dedicated during four sessions held on July 9, 2000, by Thomas S. Monson, with 5,171 church members in attendance.
