It represents one of the most emblematic points of Merida, Mexico. The Monumento a la Patria has been part of this city for more than 60 years. Moreover, its presence has been an essential piece for the people of Merida. In addition to being a tourist attraction, this monument is a meeting point that brings together hundreds of locals every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a monument that symbolises the nostalgia of the old generations of the city and the state of Yucatan. It has more than 300 hand-carved figures, which represent the history of Mexico from the foundation of Tenochtitlan until the middle of the 20th century.

Located only 20 minutes from the centre of Merida, this unique site is composed of the Temple of the Seven Dolls, a cenote and several pyramids. It also has a large museum, where you will find guides explaining the Mayan history surrounding this archaeological site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were settlements here from 500 BC until the Spanish conquest in approximately 1540 AD. It has an area of 19 square kilometres, with approximately 8400 structures in the round enclave. It is believed to have had a population of 40,000, making it one of the largest cities in Mesoamerica. The Temple of the Seven Dolls is also known as the Temple of the Sun. A square structure that was the focal point of the city. This second name may originate from the phenomenon that occurs twice a year, at the spring and autumn equinoxes. On that time, the dawn sun is visible through one window and rises from another. A tribute to the incredible mathematical knowledge of the Maya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Temple of the Seven Dolls is a strategic place to observe during the equinoxes how the sun passes exactly through the central hole it presents. But it is also the place where the sun is seen to rise at the summer and winter solstices. The accuracy in the construction of this temple is something very remarkable about this spot. Also, that it is still practically intact after more than 2000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-canton-palace\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canton-Palace\"><\/span>Canton Palace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This palace was inaugurated as the residence of General Francisco Canton, the former governor of Yucatan. It later became the Regional Museum of Anthropology of the State. The palace still maintains the French style of its construction, both in the exterior as well as in the interior. This building was a reference of the high society of Yucatan, and it is decorated with many elements brought from Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, this palace has a permanent exhibition that tells the history of the pre-Hispanic Mayan society. It also serves as a venue for cultural events, as well as temporary exhibitions and educational workshops. It is a place to see in Merida Mexico, to get to know and be immersed in the Mayan culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-markets-of-merida-mexico\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Markets-of-Merida-Mexico\"><\/span>Markets of Merida, Mexico<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"13324\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/mexico\/things-to-do-merida\/attachment\/merida-food-markets\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?fit=1080%2C1440&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1440\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"merida-food-markets\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets-768x1024.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?resize=900%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/merida-food-markets.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption> Street 59&nbsp;@wiremufp <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the symbols of Merida, and of Mexico in general, is its characteristic and original gastronomy.
