During this time, local families grew wealthy from the cultivation of henequen or sisal, a native agave which yields a tough fiber used to make rope, twine and sacking. They built homes in the style of Parisian town houses or chateaus and there is even one with a minaret. While many now house banks or offices and the most famous of all, the Palacio Canton is the Regional Anthropology and History Museum, several are open to show visitors what life was like during the heady days of henequen when Merida was one of the world\u2019s most prosperous cities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

495 is one of the famous Casas Gemelas at the beginning of Paseo de Montejo. In 1904, henequen baron Ernesto C\u00e1mara Zavala and his sister Maria C\u00e1mara Zavala commissioned French architect Gustave Umbdenstock to build the twin mansions. Building began in 1906 and they were inaugurated in 1912. They were among the first houses in the Yucatan to have electricity and originally had huge tropical gardens, orchards and stables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A guided tour of the first mansion on the boulevard is a fascinating insight into the history of a beautiful home dating from the era of green gold. Visitors see airy rooms with high ceilings filled with original turn-of-the-century furniture and inlaid cabinets, porcelain, French tapestries, Persian rugs, glass, art and sculptures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1964, the twin houses were purchased by the Barbachano Herrera family and many of their favorite antiques, family paintings and photos are also on display, including one of President John F. Kennedy who was a family friend. He never visited the house, but Jackie Kennedy is said to have stayed after his death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With its wide staircases with delicate iron railings, marble floors, columns, Baccarat lamps, stained glass windows and crystal chandeliers, this house has timeless elegance and is listed as a French Heritage Overseas Building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Montejo 495 is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The guided tour currently takes visitors through rooms on the main floor and to the kitchens and servants\u2019 quarters. There are plans to open the upper floors with bedrooms and the mezzanine with its own private theater in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/palacio-canton.jpg\" alt=\"Palacio Cant\u00f3n\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/palacio-canton.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/palacio-canton-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/palacio-canton-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/palacio-canton-705x470.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Palacio Cant\u00f3n<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The largest of all the mansions in Paseo Montejo is Palacio Canton, home of the Regional Anthropology and History Museum where ceramics, figurines, jewelry and other artifacts unearthed at the state\u2019s many archaeological sites are on display.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This imposing mansion was built between 1904 and 1911 to the design of the Italian architect Enrique Deserti, (the Peon Contreras Theater on Calle 60 is also one of his designs) to be the family home of General Francisco Cant\u00f3n Rosado, the former State governor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Beaux Arts style, it has neoclassical and baroque architectural features.
