Merida and its historical barrios
Information
subir
Travel through one of the barrios (neighborhoods) that saw the White City grow, those whose history lies on their walls. Contemplate the church at the barrio de Santiago, a place of Spaniards and Mestizos. The Santa Ana barrio, in other times a modest place of craftsmen and laborers during the colony, grew rapidly once an avenue was drawn– nowadays known as 60th street – from Plaza Grande, in the XVIII century, and the construction of its peculiar temple, with one of the most splendid baroque atriums in the city.
You can also walk on the paved stones at the plaza in barrio of the Hermitage of Santa Isabel, and finish your tour drinking an aromatic coffee at the Santa Lucía park enjoying the songs of the troubadours.
