Plaza "La isla"- Mérida- Yucatán

A little history: In 1542 the Spanish conquerors found the Mayan site called “T'Hó” which means “place of the five hills”. There they discovered a settlement that reminded them of the vestiges of Mérida, in Extremadura, Spain. They renamed the city and used the stones from the temples for the construction of the cathedral, government buildings and the homes of the conquerors.
