Take a tour of Monastery of Izamal in Mexico – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
A quaint colonial town, Izamal, is graced with a serene and miraculous monastery.
The spacious complex of the Monastery of Izamal consists of numerous arches which outline a huge courtyard.
This pilgrimage destination, resembling a yellow haven, is devoted to Yucatán's patron saint, the Virgin of Izamal.
The gorgeous yellow and white colors which adorn the walls of the monastery were painted in the 1993, for the visit of Pope Paul II.
Neglected for decades, the site is slowly re-gaining its lost glory after the initiative to restore Yucatán began.
This glorious site is not only an archaeological jewel but is also a sacred site of healing and as such holds immense importance to the city's people.
