More from Fyno’s curation
Palacio Municipal, or just the City Hall, is a historic building located in the city center of Merida. Built in the late 19th century, it is a beautiful example of French Renaissance architecture and is one of the city's most important landmarks.
The building's façade features ornate decorations and sculptures, while the interior is home to a grand staircase, a spacious courtyard, and a series of elegant halls and rooms, making it a great place to hang out.
Today, Palacio Municipal is still used as the headquarters of the city government. It is also home to several art exhibitions and cultural events throughout the year. You can take a guided tour of the building to learn more about its history and architecture.
