Merida

Low angle view of the Catedral de San Ildefonso, 1561-98, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, pictured on July 15, 2006, in the evening beneath a cloudy sky. The twin-towered cathedral stands on the site of a Mayan temple, many of whose stones were incorporated in the building which was built by the Mayan workers. In 1542 Spanish Conquistadors, led by Francisco de Montejo (the Younger), captured the ancient Mayan city of Th'o, whose lime-mortared stone buildings reminded them of Roman architecture in Merida, Spain. Having demolished Th'o and built a new city, incorporating old Mayan materials in the cathedral and other impressive 16th century buildings, they named it after Merida. Merida is the state capital of Yucatan. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
