Casa de Montejo, Renaissance mansion in central Mérida, Mexico
Two-story palace with a carved stone facade features Spanish conquistadors and indigenous figures along its ornate entrance on Plaza Mayor.
Built in 1549 under Francisco de Montejo's direction, the structure served as the residence for Spanish conquistadors who established Mérida.
The building combines Spanish Plateresque architecture with Maya influences, displaying detailed reliefs and sculptural elements across its limestone exterior.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 19:00, offering guided tours in Spanish and English through period-furnished rooms.
The original facade includes carved heads of defeated Maya warriors beneath the feet of Spanish soldiers, symbolizing colonial dominance.
