The federal agency requested several changes in the remodeling works before the reopening of Merida’s Plaza Grande.
In relation to the works that the Government of the State of Yucatan is carrying out in the Plaza Grande of Merida, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) is requesting a series of modifications, among which the removal of the granite benches that are already in the main square of the Yucatan capital stands out.
The federal agency announced some of the points that it has requested so that the remodeling works can comply with the protection of the architectural and cultural heritage.
The modifications include the forms, materials and integration into the historical context of the elements that are placed.
“The intervention must preserve the reading and appreciation of the main qualities of the historic urban image of the Plaza Grande,” said the INAH Yucatan.
The government must respect the historical architectural characteristics and the elements that give identity to this iconic site.
In addition to the removal of granite benches, the removal of circular flowerbeds with benches that were inserted into the walkways with the original design was also requested, as well as the removal of the serpentine steps placed within the green areas.
The INAH indicated that the original walkways must also be kept free of any physical or visual elements or obstacles.
