Owner description:
Though construction of the Cathedral began in the early nineteenth century, it was delayed by two earthquakes, the War of Independence, and internal political conflicts. Work was finally completed in 1958, and the Cathedral stands today as a symbol of Merida and its history.

Owner description:
Interesting historical sectors remain in this town founded in 1620 and rebuilt in 1838. Among them is the Plaza Bolívar, with its monument to the Liberator erected in 1995. To the side of the square is the parochial church with its simple colonial architecture, small altarpiece, and images of Our Lady of Sorrows and Christ in the Sepulchre.

Owner description:
A museum, an exhibition center and a grand libary all in one, the Biblioteca Bolivariana is one of Merida's most enticing attraction. Though the building's modern architecture sticks out from its colonial-era surroundings, the priceless historical documents and fascinating exhibits inside the Biblioteca give it an air of historical importance of its own.

Owner description:
This theme parkis devoted to Xamú or Jamú, which was the place where Captain Juan Rodríguez Suárez first founded the city of Mérida in 1558. Now known as San Juan de Lagunillas, it depicts a typical indigenous village, similar to those that once existed at these latitudes when the Spanish invaded the continent.
