I had too many 20th-Century modern architecture photos from Merida to put in the previous post, so here they are.
Several Art Deco and Modernist buildings in Centro.
Cine Teatro Merida - Art Deco - 1949.
Edifico La Nacional - Carlos Castillo Montes de Oca - 1936.
Edifio Las Monjas - 1948.
The former Cine Alcázar is now a parking garage.
Tropicalista!.
And another cluster to the west near Parque de la Paz.
Facultad de Medicina.
The old 1880's train station has recently been renovated and houses the Escuela Superior de Artes de Yucatán
The Mayan Revivalist Monumento a la Patria - Manuel Amábilis - 1950's
The Bellas Artes Primary School in Barrio Santiago - circa 1909.
And the Cine Rex across the square.
Sun-Ling and John have been traveling the earth since 2008 while blogging, eating vegetarian and vegan, and riding public transportation. We love uphill day hikes, 20th-century architecture, Roman ruins, all bodies of water, local markets, shopping for groceries, aqueducts, miradors, trip planning, blablacar, and more.
