Over 450 years old and the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Yucatán, Mérida was founded in 1542 by Spanish conquistadors at the site of the Mayan city of Tho’, Mérida is considered by some the longest-standing city in the Americas. Just miles away from the Gulf of Mexico, the city and its surroundings provide stunning displays of both Mayan ruins and colonial architecture.
Mérida offers a unique cultural experience, combining history, art, architecture, music, distinctive food, and much more. The city is built around many plazas, which residents use daily for entertainment and social activities. The largest plaza, the Plaza Grande, is located downtown and is filled with entertainment and surrounded by restaurants, cafés, and vendors. Mérida’s most famous avenue, Paseo de Montejo, is lined with original sculpture and attractive haciendas.
The center of the city contains the Monumento a la Patria, which depicts the history of Mexico carved in pink stone. The Governor’s Palace (Palacio del Gobierno), displays murals of the history of the Yucatán and Mayan people by the area’s most famous painter, Fernando Castro Pacheco. Enrique Gottdiener Soto, who spent 40 years in Mérida, demonstrated his admiration for the Mayan culture in his bronze sculptures exhibited in the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MACAY). These are just some of the many interesting aspects of Mérida
