Housed within the formidable Baluarte de la Soledad, one of the remaining bastions of the original old city walls, the Museum of Mayan Architecture is one of the most renowned museums in Campeche. Explore five halls where remains discovered at archaeological sites around Campeche are on display. Get an in-depth insight into the distinctive architectural styles of the Mayan regions. The Baluarte de la Soledad offers a beautiful setting for a fascinating museum. This bastion once played an integral role in defending the wealthy colonial city from marauding pirates. Along with the other seven remaining bastions, it is all that is left of the great walls which once enclosed Campeche. Appreciate the military architecture of the bastion, the Puerta de Mar gate and the watchtowers before heading inside the museum. The museum, which was founded in 1958, has undergone some changes over the years and was given its current name in 2005\. Today it houses an impressive and significant collection of artifacts and furniture which bring to life the architectural elements of four Mayan regions: Petén Norte, Río Bec, Chenes and Puuc. Wander through the five halls to see exhibits and graphic representations and to read the English information boards. Look for some of the most fascinating artifacts, such as the elaborate Mask of the God K’wiil. The Museum of Mayan Architecture is located on Calle 8 and is easily accessible on a walking tour of the old town or by public transportation. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday. There is an admission fee children under the age of 13 enter for free. ### Popular places to visit ![Campeche Public State Library, historical building](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532976995/30485c07-1592-460f-ae8e-228e63d6b521.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Campeche Library Campeche Library is just one of the places to see in Campeche, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels?
