Introduction

The Plaza Principal of Campeche (also the Constitution square) is the heart of this World Heritage old town, enclosed by softly coloured colonial buildings, the cathedral and the city hall. Paved in stone with rows of palms, it fills at dusk with strolling, music-listening residents — the centre of Campeche's slow coastal rhythm.
