La casa de Montejo en Mérida de Yucatán

Description:

"Well-documented historical study of the illustrious 16th-century mansion of Don Francisco de Montejo, the founder of the old capital of the Yucatán. Only the magnificent plateresque façade remains, which stands as the most splendid and valuable example of colonial civic architecture today. Originally published in 1941, this new edition contains a study by Michael Toussaint that examines the artistic importance of the Casa de Montejo in relation to similar works of colonial civic architecture in Mexico"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
