Merida
In the heart of Mérida, Yucatán, stands a testament to centuries of history, culture, and faith., The beautiful Cathedral of San Ildefonso. With its towering bell towers, stone facade, and serene interior, this magnificent cathedral is not only a religious icon but also a symbol of the city's enduring legacy. The cathedral was built on the site of Mayan ruins T'ho and is seat of the bishopric of Yucatán. It was the first cathedral to be finished on the mainland of the Americas, and the only one to be entirely built during the 16th century. It is a unique monument with clear antecedents in Andalucia.
