Top 10 Churches & Cathedrals in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula
Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

This chapel was so beautiful and right behind it there was an amazing view of the ocean and surrounding cliffs. We were even able to see a bunch of lizards. Really cool spot and felt very private and not crowded.

Right in the main plaza, you'll find this beautiful cathedral, which is claimed to be the 1st built in the Americas. Magnificent inside. I walked in when there was a mass happening - a great experience too. Sometimes, they have a light show that fills the square with people.

Located on the edge of Parque Los Fundadores and La Quinta in Playa del Carmen, this beautiful Catholic chapel is a real gem. Built in the neoclassic style, with its clean lines, white walls and round arches, it welcomes you and invites inside. Once inside, you notice purity and simplicity. There is no rich ornamentation. However, white walls, accentuating purity, dark wooden benches and matching dark wood ceiling beams dramatically improve interior's decor, giving the chapel a warm and cozy feeling.The altar is also very basic, but the large window behind it links to the beach, the ocean and the sky, connecting Heaven and Earth. If the chapel's purpose was contemplation, meditation and worship, it has been met.

It dominates the town. Nice to walk around the buildings although there is not a great deal to see. It's more famous for the visit by Pope John Paul II when he "crowned" the statue of the Virgin. It's next to the main plaza. We enjoyed it because it was not overcrowded by other tourists.

I didn’t have an opportunity to attend mass however, I was able to see the inside of the church as I was traveling through the town square. I was extremely impressed with the way the Stations of the Cross are depicted along the walls of the church. I must admit that the artist decision to show the Station of the Cross this way is quite thought provoking. I not only appreciated the craftsmanship but the powerful message that is told through this artistic expression. Amazing!!!

Would highly recommend to go downtown and visit this church and all of the historical society in Merida. It's a beautiful city with friendly people.
