Geschiedenis
Mérida was founded in 1542 on the site of the ancient Mayan city of T'Hó. The Spanish established it as a colonial city, and it became a significant cultural and economic center in the region.
Throughout the centuries, Mérida has preserved its rich heritage, blending Mayan and colonial influences. The city played a crucial role during the Yucatán Caste War in the 19th century, which shaped its modern identity.
