The Puerta de Tierra, or Earth Gate, is a relic of what was formerly the city's entry wall in Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain. Torcuato Cayon erected it in the 18th century; the gateway is carved in marble and is intended as a religious altarpiece rather than a military fortress; and it is a culturally significant well. It is one of the most important landmarks in the city, separating the Old Town from the new sector.

The Campeche Cathedral is a World Heritage Site located within the walled city of Campeche. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and serves as the primary church of the same-named Diocese, as well as the bishopric's seat. It is a baroque-style edifice with neoclassical characteristics, noted for storing religious art figures in its interior, showcasing a monument called "El Santo Entierro" that symbolizes a coffin with the figure of Christ and is carried by the city's main streets on Good Friday.

Centro Cultural Casa No. 6, this fascinating edifice was constructed in the 18th century. Originally, it extended up to the junction of Calle Hidalgo and Calle del Comercio and continued along until the land was divided and the residences that we see now on this corner were built. The State government rebuilt it in 1998, and it currently serves as a Cultural Center known as Casa 6. The topic of the setting is nineteenth-century uses and traditions. The majority of the furniture and accessories are reproductions, but some are original, such as the big porcelain vases on the corners in the style of Old Paris, white porcelain figurines representing the four seasons of the year, and more. You'll get a sense of how the city's elite class lived back then by wandering the grounds.
