Cultural Heritage of Mérida

La hacienda, que data del siglo 17,  está catalogada como Patrimonio cultural de Mérida y, por extensión, de Yucatán y de México.

El proyecto de intervención para rescatarla del estado en que se encontraba, ha sido un trabajo de colaboración entre diversos profesionales y especialistas de arquitectura, restauración, paisajismo y diseño.

santo patrono de la hacienda

The name San Antonio Hool refers to Saint Anthony of Padua (Patron Saint of marriages and the Spirit of prophecy).

The name "Hool" of the hacienda is of Mayan origin and means hole or depression in the land. This term was commonly used by pre-Hispanic Maya to name a place based on a natural feature or mark. However, it can also be translated as door or access.

JOSÉ PEóN CONTRERAS

Destacado escritor y poeta mexicano, reconocido por su contribución a la literatura en el siglo XIX y por ser un exponente del romanticismo en México. 

Cuando la hacienda enfrentaba dificultades económicas él la adquirió para revitalizarla implementando mejoras en la producción del henequén, lo que contribuyó al desarrollo económico de la región.

don JOSÉ PEóN CONTRERAS dedicó a la hacienda el siguiente poema

"I HAVE A PIECE OF LAND,
VERY FAR FROM HERE, VERY FAR.

THERE WHERE I OPENED MY EYES,
AND LEFT MY THOUGHTS.

IT IS A PIECE OF WOODLAND
WITH A RUIN IN THE CENTER,
AND A FEW COTTAGES
OF FORTUNATE FARMERS.

FROM THERE, YOU CAN SEE THE CITY TOWERS,
AND THE ECHOES OF THE RESOUNDING BELLS
FROM THE TEMPLES CAN BE HEARD.”
