Santa Luc\u00eda Square on Calle 60 is surrounded by restaurants and craft shops and hosts a traditional Thursday evening concert of local trova music, ballads performed by guitar trios.

After bloody attacks in the 16th and 17th centuries, the colonial authorities built forts and ramparts to protect the town from pirate raids. Several of them are now museums telling the story of Campeche, the ancient Maya, Spanish conquistadors and ruthless buccaneers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/thomasmoretravel.com\/\">Thomas More Travel<\/a> can help you arrange trips to these sites of interest and many more in the Mexican Caribbean and the Yucatan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='https:\/\/thomasmoretravel.com\/'  class='avia-button av-kwmgy5mq-0231dd35384607449d0a8b3a0882f469 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-x-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color ' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Book Now<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s our monthly gallery showcasing some of the region\u2019s many natural and historical attractions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":60681,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[652],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-december-2021"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
