Since 1545, this church has served as a meeting place and a comforting haven for Valladolid's Catholic community. During the Sunday mass at 5 PM, you can still feel the strong faith that unites people of all ages and social classes. People make the sign of the cross at both the entrance and exit, kneel during the sacrament, and sing and pray aloud together with the priest. Valladolid's cathedral might not look like much at first glance, but its vibrant inner life gives the church meaning and relevance.

We visited Valladolid for just one hour, after returning to Cancun from the archaeological zone of Chichen Itza. The Church is located on the main square of the town, with lots of food stands with sweet stuff and souvenirs to buy around it. I was surprised to find out that it was built from stones from a pyramid who was destroyed by the Spanish conquistadors.

Main church opposite the plaza in Valladolid. Lots of souvenir shops plus more around. We only stopped here for about 20 minutes to have a walk around after our tour of chichen itza. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area and a great photo opportunity. We were here later on in the day and it was incredibly hot. There’s not tonnes of shade so make sure you wear a hat and bring lots of water.

Beautiful playing so much dark church with soaring Gothic arches. Masses are at seven, 9 AM, 12 noon, 5:30 PM and 7 PM. This Sunday we were there there were 15 baptisms at the 9 o’clock mass.

The Iglesia de San Servasio is right in the heart of Valladolid next to the Plaza e Parque Francisco Canton. It is a historic church dating back over 400 years. It is a must to visit if you’re in Valladolid and I highly recommend.

The church is situated right on the square in Valledolid and is a staple of the square. The architecture is anchored in the Spanish Colonial period and is a lovely experience. The inside of the church has some interesting pieces and displays. The people were quiet and respectful (hats off while inside) while walking through. Coffin Jesus was a bit disturbing but you still have to appreciate the history of how people worship. The beggars outside of the church are standard fare in Mexico so don't be alarmed. Entry is free.
