# Cathedral of Merida

Merida, Mexico

Raised between 1561 and 1598 from the stones of dismantled Maya temples, San Ildefonso is among the oldest cathedrals on the American mainland. Its austere twin towers and bare interior reflect a severe Renaissance style, and it shelters the revered Cristo de las Ampollas.
