Izamal is a small city located in the State of Yucatan and it is known as "The Yellow City", because most of its buildings are painted yellow and is considered a colonial jewel. As well, it is known as "The City of Hills" considering as “hills” the ancient Maya temples located inside the city, because the Yucatan Peninsula is a flat zone without hills or mountains. Izamal could be the most ancient colonial city where we can find five pyramids, the main of them is “Kinich Kak Moo” and there are other structures as “Itzamatul”, “Kabul”, “Hun Pik Tok” and “Tuul” (the rabbit). Izamal main attractive is the convent that was built over the Maya pyramids using the stones of them for its construction. Its founder was Friar Diego de Landa, famous for burning the Maya codex.
Izamal is a very catholic city of Yucatan, for that reason in August 1993 Pope John Paul II visited Izamal and performed a mass for the Native Americans.
