These murals are painted on the walls of residential houses in the Calle Morelos, the street going from the center of Camaron de Tejada and the monument to the battle.
Starting from the corner between Calle Morelos and the Ninos Heros avenue, we have:
- the most symbolic one on which we can see 4 Mexican soldiers and 5 French ones. It looks like they in the Hacienda de Camaron (the battle fiedld). They are seprated by a circle in the of which 2 hands (1 brown and 1 white) are shaking eachother. They are surrounded by the inscription "30 DE ABRIL" and "1863 CAMARON DE TEJADA VERACRUZ"
- the 2nd paint shows French and Mexican soldiers fighting
- the 3rd one show the monument and, on its right part, 1 Mexican and 1 French soldier fighting. The French soldier is a "zouave". This unit was part of the overall campaign but never fouhgt during this battle.
