Valladolid was founded by the Spaniards on the then existing Maya village known as Zaci and became a religious center where in 1552 the Franciscans built the Iglesia de San Bernardino (San Bernardino Church) and the adjoined Ex-convento de Sisal (Convent). These two buildings have been recently restored revealing frescoes around the altars in the church.

The city center, or Zocalo, is a main focal point where you will see Maya women sell embroidered items and also an area to buy inexpensive local dishes from several restaurants and where you'll find hotel options. The Cathedral is the most impressive site in the center with its beautiful facade. Also you will find the City Hall (Palacio Municipal) and inside the hallways are painted with murals showing the history of the town from the Mayan times and military leaders from the Revolution.

West of the town is Cenote Dzitnup, a natural water well discovered in the 1950s. Visitors may enter and go swimming inside the underground pool where there is a hole in the roof of the cave where light enters from above. Dzitnup is located 4 miles west of Valladolid and open daily. Entrance cost is a few dollars.
