Beautiful house, stunning facade. Every room is kept in perfect conditions. They also have temporary exhibitions and a store.

The architecture is astounding. On the outside of the building there are ornate carvings of conquistadors standing on the heads of Indians. Inside displays the wealth of the Montejo family. Beautiful imported furnishings are displayed in the 4 rooms open to the public. You can walk through on your own, or take a guided tour at certain times of the... More

With its location directly on Plaza Grande, no traveller should miss it. Entrance is free...tours are offered if your time permits. If not, even a very, short walk-through will allow you to visit the splendour of the recontructed life of turn-of-the century Merida.

Magnificent estate of the Montejo's ... founding family of Merida. The architecture alone is worth seeing. Grand spaces and an elegant lifestyle were experienced in this home, now used for rotating displays of the local culture, fabrics/ textiles, etc.

There are many stories imbedded in the relief sculpure here. Nick Rider's Cadogan guide to the Yucatan alerted me to what to look for. We might have missed the photography exhibition inside if we had not been waved in. It was stunning! I'm not sure how long it is on for (we were there in the second week of January,... More
