city walls and fortifications which protected the
city (not always successfully) from pirates and bu
ccaneers. The state of preservation and quality

With an excellent state of preservation, the City
of San Francisco de Campeche, in the viceroy
style baroque, is a beautiful example of a
fortified urban center. This quality has earned
him a title of Cultural Heritage of Humanity by
the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization. Its aligned streets
allow us to take a tour admiring the decoration
of its houses, some of them with strong Moorish
and Spanish reminiscences of the 18th century and
some modifications of the 19th century. The color
of its facades print a vibrant sense of life in
those who visit them, each street is full of
stories and legends.
