VALLADOLID

This provincial city was founded twice in eastern Yucatan in the XVI century. The unhealthy climate and the hostility of the indigenous groups prevailing at the original site forced a change of settlement in 1544 . It has been the scene of rebellions and tragic struggles between the conquerors and the conquered.

Among the edifices in the colonial style that are outstanding in this city, the majestic convent of San Bernardino in the barrio of Sisal best represents the classic masterpieces of Franciscan architecture. It appears that these convents were designed as fortresses against the permanent threat of rebel Mayan groups.
