The Museum of Architecture of the City

The historical, artistic and symbolic valuation of the buildings and spaces with declaration of patrimonial interest, belonging to the parish "El Sagrario", allows us to propose the Museum of Architecture of the City as a project destined to the diffusion and conservation of the Historical Center of the city of Merida. The recovery of the Historical Center of the city is guaranteed through the fulfillment of the conservation policies of the buildings and spaces loaded with artistic and symbolic value that constitute historical documents worthy of being interpreted for the understanding of the past, the reaffirmation of the present and the projection of the future. Added to this is the need to make the population and institutions aware of the importance of the heritage value of the Historic Center in order to highlight the cultural, social, artistic and religious features that give meaning to Merida's identity.
