The building of the Casa del gobernador is a beautiful functional government building around a patio. The building is replete with paintings that vividly depict the bloody struggle between the Mayans and the Spanish forces. Eventually the Spanish won as the Mayans went back to cultivate corn; a very symbolic and a holy crop for the Mayan culture.
I've visited Merida several times. Don't remember Casa del gobernador as being green. Has it recently been repainted?
