Delve into the lost world of the Yucatán Peninsula’s historic estates with Inside Yucatán, where Susana Ordovás and photographer Guido Taroni unveil the region’s architectural treasures—both forgotten and restored. At the turn of the 20th century, Mérida was home to more millionaires than any other city in the world, resulting in grand, opulent residences nestled within the lush tropical landscape. Over time, these estates fell into ruin, overtaken by nature and the passage of time.
Now, in Taroni’s evocative photographs of 27 remarkable homes in Mérida, Izamal, Valladolid, and beyond, the intricate beauty of colonial, Renaissance, Medieval, and Moorish influences emerges once more. Three specially commissioned maps, illustrated by renowned artist Jesús Cisneros, provide historical and geographical context, guiding readers through the enchanting landscapes of the Yucatán.
Through Ordovás’s insightful commentary, Inside Yucatán celebrates the revival of these architectural wonders, blending past and present to capture the mystique and grandeur of this extraordinary region.
