The city dates back to the early days of the Spanish Conquest and was built in the 1500&#39;s. The attractions in Valladolid are actually quite incredible. Travelers should remember that upon arriving in Valladolid, you need to set your watch back, several hundred years. Valladolid is a small, quaint city-town that still preserves a special colonial flavor. Here, you will see the majority of the town s people still using the typical dress of the Mayan, colonial architecture around the Main Plaza and many historical buildings;</font></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">The city of Valladolid was once a ritual and ceremonial center of the Maya Civilization called &quot;Zaci,&quot; (ancient capital of the province of the Cupules) which means white hawk in Mayan. In 1543 the Spanish Conqueror Francisco de Montejo, The Nephew, descended on the area near Zaci to straighten out the  Cupules, a large group of Maya who did not take kindly to Spanish intervention. After making war on the Cupules he built Valladolid on top of the temples. Valladolid, after the city of the same name in Spain is where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were married. Interestingly enough the Spanish Government has recently deemed Valladolid as one of the most authentic Spanish cities in the Americas and has granted large sums of money to aid in its preservation.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">In all there are 8 separate parts to the city, counting the center or &quot;El Centro&quot; or &quot;Zocalo,&quot; which is one of the most beautiful and majestic places on earth. The park is kept immaculate in fact it is cleaned every day, seven days a week, at 5 AM, by a host of park sweepers and cleaners. If you do not jog early you will never see them. The park is also home to probably 10,000 birds all of which great early risers with a din that has to be seen (or heard) to be believed. On the south side of the park is the majestic Cathedral of San Gervasio. The cathedral was completed in 1570 by The Franciscans. But, due the struggle between the Maya and the Spanish the church was desecrated by violence. So in 1702, it was destroyed and rebuilt. The church is considered chastised and is the only one whose main doors face north instead of west.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">In all there are seven Cathedrals in the eight barrios (neighborhoods) of Valladolid. That is because each section has a church except Bacalar, which only has a park and the cemetery. The barrio of San Juan has a very interesting, small, but quite unique cathedral. All of the churches have parks located nearby. One of the most famous cathedrals in the Yucatán Peninsula is located in Valladolid.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">This cathedral is called  Sisal to the locals, but is better known as The Monastery of Saint Bernardino of Siena. It was the first church constructed on American soil and its size is imposing. It is one of the most beautiful buildings of the colonial era. Construction was started in the year 1552, under the direction of the Franciscan Friar Juan de Mérida and Fathers Hernando de Guevara and Francisco de la Torre. It was erected over the vault of a very large cenote. You can still see some of the original paintings behind the altar piece, as well as its ancient garden with its water wheel. Another amazing thing about the monastery is that it was created to be self sustaining. The monks raised all their own food; they planted huge orchards and vegetable gardens and had fresh water from the cenote. The monastery was completed in 1560. One note of interest is that the word for monastery and convent in Spanish is Convento.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">Located a few blocks east of the center of Valladolid is the beautiful cenote Zaci. You can climb down the stairs and visit this cenote which is open to the air on one side with the other side covered by stalactites and stalagmites. A beautiful restaurant with a thatch roof is located at the site and it is open daily until dark.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">One block east of the Zocalo is the Museum of San Roque which houses hundreds of items pertaining to the life of the Maya. From the Maya wars to agricultural pursuits. The museum also has a beautiful park in the back with plants of Valladolid and the region. The museum is open daily, free of charge.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">A short distance west of Valladolid is the enchanting refreshing cenote at Dzitnup. The sun shines through a hole in the ceiling lighting the water below in a very majestic pattern. There are a myriad of stories about rituals and such that were performed by the Maya in this cenote, but the truth is that the cenote was discovered in modern times by a farmer whose pig fell in. Pig in Mayan is  kiken, and that is the actual name of the cenote.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">Valladolid is also the marketplace for over a hundred small villages where the descendants of the Maya make handicrafts and grow crops. These descendants of the Maya are hard working and industrious, and they are a very spiritual and peaceful people. They come to Valladolid, everyday to sell their wares in the market place and on the streets. The atmosphere is definitely from another time as you barter with the maker of fine garments and hammocks. In reality there are a number of items produced in and around Valladolid. The leather crafts include: Huarache sandals, belts, wallets and hand-bags. Silver and goldsmith artists thrive in Valladolid and buyers come from all over México to buy items. You can also buy typical region clothes 100 per cent handmade. Many of these cloths are made at home by women supplementing the family income.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">Valladolid is also located in the middle of the Maya Ruins. There is no city closer to more ruins than Valladolid. The new archeological findings at </font> <font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> <a target="_blank" href="YucatanEkBalam.html"> <font color="#0000FF" size="3" face="Arial">Ek Balam</font></a></font><font face="Arial" size="3"><b> </b>are astounding. The ruins are located 20 minutes north of the city.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">A new International Airport is nearly completed near Valladolid, which will allow travelers easier access to the heartland of the Maya. The airport construction holds with the stone and wood motif of the Maya and is considered to be a work of art in its own right.</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"><b> <font face="Georgia" size="4" color="#4F8955">FOUNDATION OF VALLADOLID - The 24th of May of 1543:</font></b><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><br> </font><font face="Arial" size="3">Relatively calm or more calm than the provinces in the east of the </font><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> <a target="_blank" href="YucatanPeninsula.html"> <font color="#0000FF" size="3" face="Arial">Yucatán</font></a><font face="Arial" size="3">.

The Coat of Arms is a mix of many elements and symbols: Six Spanish towers that symbolize the suburbs or barrios of Valladolid (Sisal, Bacalar, Candelaria, Santa Lucía and San Juan). A Maya zero which represents the influence of their culture. A bouquet of flowers of Xtabentún. A branch with a cotton ball which speaks to the first industrial textile of the nation. In the center is a White Dove, the symbol of  Zaci in Mayan. The base color red represents the blood shed by the Maya during the conquest. The emblem  Heroic City stands out proclaiming the honor of the city whose residents have stood up and rebelled at different times demonstrating their courage and valor, that is where the city gets its name, &quot;The Heroic City.&quot;</font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Arial" size="3">The Coat of Arms was created in 1973, under the tutelage of the Municipal President Sr. Juan Alcocer Rosado, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the city status of Valladolid.
