Campo Marte

Campo Marte is a venue under the administration of the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA).

Campo Marte is located next to the National Auditorium in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City.

President Manuel Ávila Camacho declared on 26 August 1941 that the camp should be known as “Parque Nacional Anáhuac".

This denounced the presidency of Victoriano Huerta and gave the Governor of Coahuila, Venustiano Carranza, the ability to establish a military force to restore constitutional order.

It hosted the dressage and individual jumping events of the equestrian competitions for the 1968 Summer Olympics.
