Casa de las Artesanías “Tukulná”
De acuerdo con el primer plano regulador de la ciudad de Campeche, elaborado por Francisco de Bazán en 1658,y con el proyectado por Juan Francisco Esquivel en 1663, en este predio ya existía una edificación. La casa actual fue construida a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX.

La construcción se desarrolla en torno a un patio con un pozo con brocal de cantera, rodeado por una arcada de medio punto que descansa sobre columnas toscanas de cantera; es un claro ejemplo de la arquitectura ecléctica del siglo XX.

English:
“Tukulná” Handcrafts House
According to the first regulated layout of the city of Campeche drafted by Francisco de Bazán in 1658, and with the one proposed by Juan Francisco Esquivel in 1663, there already was a building on this site. The current house was constructed at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th.

Construction was developed around a patio with a quarry-stone curbed well, surrounded by a semi-circular arcade which rests on quarry-stone Tuscan columns; it is a clear example of the eclectic architecture of the 20th century.
