Self-guided walking tour of Merida, Yucatan
Merida, the capital of the Mexican state of Yucatan, was founded in 1542 by Francisco de Montejo, but the city's history goes back to the ancient Maya city of Ichcanziho. Built on the ruins of this ancient Maya city, Merida still embraces several elements of Maya culture and tradition, including customs, cuisine, and a modern version of the old Maya ball game. The city of over a million people got its White City nickname from the white limestone used in the construction of many of its historic buildings. By the way, carved Maya stones from ancient Ichcanziho were used to build many Spanish colonial buildings. These stones are embedded, for instance, in the cathedral walls. As the capital of the state of Yucatan, it is the financial and cultural centre of the Yucatan Peninsula. Merida is often considered the safest city in Mexico and one of the safest cities in the Americas. So check out a selection of things to see and do in Merida. Let’s start our self-guided walking tour with the main square, Plaza Grande.
