About Valladolid

Valladolid is a colonial city in the Yucatán, with a plaza of pastel buildings, a 16th-century convent and cenotes, close to Chichén Itzá.

Valladolid stands in the east of Yucatán state, founded by the Spanish in the 1540s on the site of a Maya settlement. Its central plaza is flanked by the church of San Servacio and the arcaded town hall, with pastel colonial buildings around it. A short walk away, the Convent of San Bernardino de Siena, built in the 1550s, has a large walled courtyard and a fortress-like church.
