House of the king Lieutenant
Four of these houses were built in the city, with built-in columns
in the façade, one in each side of the main entrance. In
them representatives of the Governor of the Peninsula lived. They
are located downtown of the Historical Centre on 59th, 14th and
51st streets.
House 6
Located on 57th street, between 8th and 10th streets, downtown.
This construction comes from the XVII century and has been modified
to remember the lifestyle of the people from Campeche in the XIX
century. The entrance is free and it has a restaurant and a bookstore.
It also is used as an Information Centre.
Weekly activities are organized for the public such as "The
Campechanas’ Serenade" on Thursdays night, and "Campechana
Lottery" on Saturdays evening.
Mansion Carvajal
On 10th street you can find one of the most beautiful samples of
the XIX century civil architecture. It belonged to Mr. Rodrigo Carvajal
Iturralde, who also owned the Hacienda Uayamon. Now days it has
been restored. Its main characteristics are the Moorish arches and
a great marble stairway.
