    The Merida Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of San Ildefonso, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the historic center of Merida. The cathedral was built between 1561 and 1598 on the site of a former Mayan temple. It is a mix of architectural styles, with Renaissance, Gothic, Baroque, and Moorish influences.

    The cathedral is known for its impressive facade, which features three entrances and several intricate carvings and sculptures. The interior is also striking, with a high ceiling and intricate details, including a carved wooden pulpit and several chapels with religious art. The cathedral has undergone several renovations over the years, including a major restoration in the 1990s.

    The Merida Cathedral is an important religious and cultural landmark in the city, and it is well worth the visit.
