Cover photo description:
Iglesia de San Servacio. It is located on the southern side of the main square and was built by Priest Francisco Hernandez on March 24, 1545. In 1705 it was demolished by appointment of Bishop Pedro de los Rios Reyes, after the desecration of such sacred building, in the so called â€œCrime of Mayors.â€ÂÃ‚ÂÃ‚Ã‚Â In 1706 it was restored as we see it now, and to prevent the altar of the new church to have the same position when it was tainted, a new orientation was given to it. For this reason the church is facing the north and west, as most of the colonial temples in Yucatan, were built facing towards Rome. Picture taken in September 2018
