Cathedral de Merida
What the experts agree on
One of the Americas' oldest cathedrals, Mérida's twin-towered landmark anchors the Zócalo with an austere facade, plus a legendary blistered Christ figure inside steeped in local lore.
“According to one of many legends, the Christ figure burned all night yet appeared the next morning unscathed—except that it was covered with the blisters for which it's named.”
