Fort San Jose del Alto Museum

Travel just outside of the city center to explore one of Campeche’s largest colonial forts and the impressive museum housed within it.

Follow the gaze of this statue, which depicts a young woman awaiting the return of her seafaring lover, looking out across the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico from Campeche’s waterfront.

This squat, stone bulwark has a museum and a rooftop section with vistas of Campeche’s city center that it has guarded for centuries.

Join Campeche’s devout residents as they attend Mass at this grand place of worship, which takes pride of place in the heart of the old town.

Sword at the ready and face turned seaward, this statue depicts the heroic figure at the center of the Mexican fight for independence.

Campeche Library is just one of the places to see in Campeche, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Stroll along the seaside or visit the shops in this culturally rich area.
