Facts and practical information

The Montejo House is a building constructed between 1542 and 1549 by the conquerors of the Yucatán Peninsula, the Montejos - Francisco de Montejo, the adelantado, his son "el mozo" and Francisco de Montejo, nephew of the adelantado - to be used as their family residence in the historic center of the city of Mérida in Yucatán, Mexico. The construction has been partially preserved to date, after several modifications and restorations made over the centuries by the successive owners of the property. Currently the building is owned by the Fundación Fomento Cultural Banamex, A.C. and inside it there is a House of Culture and the Casa Montejo Museum inaugurated on December 2nd, 2010. The Casa de los Montejo is possibly the only example in Mexico of a civil house built in the sixteenth century Plateresque style.
