Bastion of San Francisco

Get a glimpse of what Campeche was like in centuries gone by when you visit this 18th-century city gate, now the site of a dramatic light-and-sound show.

You can learn about the history of Campeche when you stop by Calle 59. Stroll along this culturally rich area's seaside or simply enjoy its cafes.

What once protected Campeche from plundering pirates in the 17th century today provides awe-inspiring vantage points across the city.

Bring your camera to photograph some of Campeche’s finest views from atop the city’s smallest bastion before exploring the grizzly dungeon beneath it.

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

A mesmerizing cathedral, a cultural palace and a renovated colonial building are among the attractions overlooking the gardens of this central plaza.
