Ghost Monks and Christian Martyr at the Catedral de Mérida
Mérida’s twin-towered Catedral de San Ildefonso is a landmark of both historical and architectural significance. As the first cathedral built on the American mainland, it holds a prestigious place in the region's colonial history, only the cathedral in Santo Domingo is older in all of the Americas.

El Minaret is another iconic French-style mansion on Paseo de Montejo. Built in 1908 (at the end of the Porfiriato period) by the owner Dr. Alvaro Medina Ayora and his brother Miguel Medina Ayora, the building was formerly known as "Casa del Minarete".

The Ghost Boy Juliancito Plays at Hacienda Misnébalam
