Ex-Temple of San Jose

Travel just outside of the city center to explore one of Campeche’s largest colonial forts and the impressive museum housed within it.

Follow the gaze of this statue, which depicts a young woman awaiting the return of her seafaring lover, looking out across the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico from Campeche’s waterfront.

This squat, stone bulwark has a museum and a rooftop section with vistas of Campeche’s city center that it has guarded for centuries.

Join Campeche’s devout residents as they attend Mass at this grand place of worship, which takes pride of place in the heart of the old town.

A mesmerizing cathedral, a cultural palace and a renovated colonial building are among the attractions overlooking the gardens of this central plaza.

Campeche Library is just one of the places to see in Campeche, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Stroll along the seaside or visit the shops in this culturally rich area.
