Description
Campeche is a coastal city in the southwestern part of Mexico and serves as the capital of the state of Campeche. Rich in history, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 due to its well-preserved Baroque colonial architecture and fortified walls. The city played a critical role in the Spanish colonial period, serving as a major port and stopping point for trade.
One of the highlights of Campeche is its historical center, where visitors can explore brightly colored houses, charming plazas, and museums that showcase the region's history. The city's fortified walls, which were constructed to protect it from pirate attacks, offer stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico and the surrounding area. Many of the original structures, including churches and government buildings, can still be seen today.
Campeche is also known for its vibrant culture, which includes traditional music, dance, and cuisine. The city holds several festivals throughout the year, celebrating its heritage and local customs. The caldillo de chaya, a regional dish made with chaya leaves, is a must-try for food lovers visiting the city.
