History
Built in the 16th century, it is a unique example of a Renaissance-style civil house in Mexico. In 1562, the Spanish Crown handed Francisco de Montejo “El Viejo” an exclusive privilege for the conquest of Yucatán, and thanks to the services offered by the Spanish Crown he conferred the title and office of “Adelantado de Yucatán”.
In 1542 Francisco de Montejo chose the city T’Hó as the best place to found Mérida.
Throughout time, this house has undergone modifications according to the tastes of different owners that it has had, the architectural and decorative fashion of the times for more than four hundred years of existence.
