San Antonio de Padua, Izamal
-
The vast monastery of Izamal, painted ocher and white like the rest of the town (see Izamal), epitomizes the plain, austere style favored by the Franciscan friars who brought Catholicism to the Yucatán. Founded in 1549, its huge atrio , or courtyard, was designed to hold great crowds of Mayans in open-air Masses.
