One of the most striking features of the Campeche project is the successful way in which we have achieved the environmentally-friendly integration of the buildings into the surroundings.
The project has been designed in such a way so as to protect the environment and its tropical nature from the outset of the project right through to the time when the inhabitants begin to live there. Furthermore, all the buildings have been designed so that their occupants will enjoy views of the sea, the golf course and the surrounding environment. Please see the attached brochure under the "Info" tab for additional details.
When we talk of Campeche, we cannot but mention its peculiar architecture based on the fortification that surrounded the city. At the end of the XVII century, the Campeche community agreed to build a city wall that would enclose the entire city. The irregular-shaped wall was 2,560 metres long and was equipped with six main sections, eight bastions and four gateways: Puerta del Mar (the Gateway to the Sea), Puerta de Guadalupe, Puerta de San Román and Puerta de Tierra (The Gateway to the Land). Currently, only 500 metres of the wall, six bastions, two forts and two gateways remain.
Puerta de Mar y Puerta de Tierra. The Puerta de Tierra Gateway was the main entrance to the city and to this day is still one of the most representative symbols of the capital. Built in 1732, it still maintains its magnificent splendour. Its battlements, casemates and stores, as well as its defences, which are formed by a triangular wall and a moat measuring four metres wide by 3 metres deep, are still standing strong and in tact. The gateway lay in the protection of the bastions of San Francisco and San Juan. By presidential decree, the administration of the building was handed over to the Secretary of Public Education in 1930 and was declared a Monument of Historical Interest on 9 June 1933.
