Some drawings from our Yucatán trip. Inspired by a souvenir shop doll, house sign adornments, and a special little Jaguar in a handcraft gallery in Izamal🌞🐆💛

Frederick Catherwood, in Views of ancient monuments in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan (Frederick Catherwood 1844)

Izamal, at the height of its prosperity, must have been one of the most important of the Indian cities of Yucatan. There is abundant testimony to prove that it was inhabited at the time of the Spanish conquest. There are still remaining several mounds, one of which is the largest in Yucatan, but so dilapitated and disfigured, as to defy accurate measurement: it may be about seven hundred feet long and sixty high. It is said to contain interior chambers and colossal statues; but no entrance at present exists to these subterranean apartments. The great church and convent of the Franciscan monks stands on the upper platform of one of these ancient teocalli, and the open area fronting the church is probably not less than two hundred feet square, surrounded on three sides by an open colonnade, forming a noble promenade, overlooking the modern city of Izamal and the surrounding country to a great distance. On the side of a mound about two hundred feet long, and which formerly had stone and stucco ornaments from one end to the other, is the Colossal Head—perhaps of some deity—represented in the plate: it is seven feet eight inches in height, and seven feet in width. A stone, one foot six inches long, protrudes from the chin, intended perhaps for burning copal on.

伊薩馬爾 Izamal

這是一個有著歷史的小鎮，遠從馬雅人就開始居住在此，現在光是鎮裡就有大大小小有五座馬雅遺址。

後來西班牙人來了之後，在原地又建了城市，甚至在金字塔上蓋了聖安東尼奧德帕多瓦修道院(Convento de San Antonio de Padua)。

而現在，因為所有建築都漆成了黃色，又成為一個旅遊觀光景點。

市中心的修道院以有個特大的中庭著稱。

馬雅遺址是免費的，而且還可爬上去俯瞰整個城市。

看多了黃色也是會有點恐怖，還好居家室內不用是黃色的。

交通方式：

從梅里達(Merida)第50和52街中間的67街上有Noreste巴士站，但是開往伊薩馬爾(Izamal)的巴士是Oriente，單程車資36披索，車程約一小時左右，主要是看梅里達市區塞車情況。
