 Campeche,
capital of the state that bears its name, is one
of Mexico's colonial gems and was at last recognized
as such in 1999 with the designation of the city
as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Elegant eighteenth- and nineteenth-century houses
painted in pastel shades (hundreds of which have
been recently restored to former glory), interspersed
with the occasional church, give it a distinctly
European feel. At its heart, relatively intact,
lies a colonial port still surrounded by hefty defensive
walls and fortresses.
A Spanish expedition under Francisco Hernandez
landed outside the Maya town of Ah Kin Pech in 1517,
only to beat a hasty retreat on seeing the forces
lined up to greet them. It wasn't until 1540 that
Francisco de Montejo founded the modern town, and
from here set out on his mission to conquer the
Yucatán. From then until the nineteenth century,
it was the chief port in the peninsula. It also
became an irresistible target for the pirates who
operated with relative impunity from bases on the
untamed coast. Hence the fortifications, built between
1668 and 1704 after a particularly brutal massacre
of the population. Although large sections of the
walls have gone, seven of the eight original bulwarks
(baluartes) survive.
In the past few tourists have stopped here, preferring
to sweep by en route to Escárcéga and Palenque or
take Hwy-180 along the beautiful coast route via
Ciudad del Carmen to Villahermosa. Though more and
more visitors are discovering the immaculately preserved
and tranquil streets which compare favorably with
Mérida's, for the moment at least Campeche remains
free of tourist overkill.
