Artist's Description

The Cathedral of San Ildefonso is one of the oldest European structures in the Americas. I read in various places that it was the oldest cathedral on the mainland in the Americas, but I kept seeming to read this about various churches, so I'm resolved to accept that being built in 1598, it's certainly one of the oldest.

It also may have a claim to being built of some of the oldest materials. Merida was built on the foundations of a Mayan city, T'ho, and the stone of the Maya temples was re-used in the church you see here.

About Mark Tisdale

Mark Tisdale

Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist. That was five years ago! Is it easy? No, but something truly worthwhile is rarely simple. My body of work is wide ranging from photographic scenes of far away places, more near and dear locations, and more fanciful artwork.

Whether you've purchased one piece or a house full or you simply admire and share with your friends, your patronage of my art is...
