Merida is the capital city of the state of Yucatan. Known as "White City" because of the large
use of white limestone and white paint this traditional city depicts much of the splendor of
Colonial Mexico. This is by no means to say that Merida still exists in a time warp and the
contrary could be said. There is old and new exhibited in everything from fashion to
architecture.
The Spanish Conquistador Francisco de Montejo founded present day Merida in 1542. An
insight into the horrendous pain and suffering of the people who were brutalized by the
conquering conquistadors exists in magnificent paintings that are on display in the Governor's
Palace located in downtown Merida.
Left in seclusion for many years because of the difficulty of traveling to Merida the people of
this region have cultivated a distinct contemporary society that is unique in Mexico.
