La Sala

The red facade of La Sala stands out against the pale limestone walls common in this part of Centro. It functions as a cultural space, occupying a restored historic house that preserves the high ceilings and thick masonry typical of colonial Mérida. In the early twentieth century, this property served as a private residence for wealthy henequen merchants. Its deep, narrow interior layout channels the coastal breeze, a design necessity before the arrival of electric fans in the city.
