The Merida Yucatan Mexico Temple

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Merida is on the north edge of the Yucatan peninsula, an area made famous by the ancient Maya ruins that fill its landscape with mystery and beauty. Most prominent among these ruins are several temples atop stepped pyramids. Now a new temple has joined the ancient ones, only this one will be used for modern rituals that bring exhalation, rather than being admired and studied by archeologists as the ancient ones are.

The temple was announced on 25 September 1998.
Ground was broken and construction begun on 16 January 1999.
The cornerstone was laid and the temple dedicated on 8 July 2000.
There are 2 Sealing rooms and 2 Ordinance rooms in the 10,850 square foot temple.
The spire is 75 feet tall.
The Merida Yucatan Temple serves stakes, districts and branches in Yucatan.
