Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Yucatán

We had a great time during our visit here. It was a historical building in the city center of Merida where we could see murals, artworks, and museum. It was a free entry during my visit. In October, the city is preparing for a carnival. We could see many beautiful decorations inside the city. We managed to see local performances in the other part of the street.

Beautiful museum with incredible artworks. I loved the green colour of the buildings and the lighting throughout the museum was stunning. It’s in a great location and definitely a must see spot when you’re visiting Merida.

This is a surprisingly great building with outstanding large format murals detailing the artist’s impression of the history of the Yucatan. We didn’t pay an entry fee, and so it’s a great free visit of a museum in Merida (there are a few). We visited with our family, and the kids (13 and 11), thought it was really interesting. Each of the murals also had descriptions discussing what they were about in Spanish, and English. Recommend this place.

This is an exquisite and well maintained palace of the governor. The entry is free and is well guarded by police, however they allow people to view it. The palace has amazing paintings and murals which depict historic events and modern works from a famous Mexican artist.

Very large artworks depicting historical events, Mayan traditions and folklore ,displayed on two floors. Our Tour Leader took the 3 of us in for a brief viewing. For someone really interested in art ,longer than a brief view essential. Free to enter. Guards at main doors amenable .

A free and worthwhile look around if you are in the area. The main attraction is that the building boasts many interesting murals detailing the history of the Yucatan Peninsula. There was information in English available describing each mural.

Merida is the capital of Yucatan state and the biggest city of the entire peninsula. This elegant green edifice is the area's government seat, standing on the main Plaza Grande square. In normal times you can enter it to admire great murals in the arched courtyard. They remind on Diego Rivera murals in Mexico city's City Hall, but here in Merida, Fernando Pacheco is responsible for them. Murals depict Spanish invasion of Yucatan and enslaving and destroying Mayan culture.

A beautiful building right around the corner from the Cathedral. The building is open to the public with no admission charge. Exceptional murals on the walls and especially in the expansive rooms on the second floor. The building is clean and very well cared for. Definitely worth a visit if you are in this area.
