translation:Venustiano Carranza Lighthouse The lighthouse known today as the Venustiano Carranza Lighthouse was designed and built by two engineers, Salvador Echegaray and Lattine. It is part of the buildings that together with the construction of dikes, breakwaters and embankments make up the Port of Veracruz, which was inaugurated on March 6, 1902 by the President of the Republic Porfirio Díaz. During the American invasion of 1914 it was occupied by the invading troops. Later, when Veracruz was vacated in November of that same year, the head of the Constitutionalist Army Venustiano Carranza installed government offices here, naming the city of Veracruz as the capital of the nation until October 1915. During that time the Law of Free Municipalities and the Agrarian Law were passed, among others. Since 1935 the Secretary of the Navy has installed its administrative offices in this building. During the presidency of Adolfo Ruiz Cortines the name was changed to the Venustiano Carranza Lighthouse and a museum was also added. Currently these buildings are used as offices of the Mexican Navy.
