Campeche


We just learned about the Mexico state of Nayarit.

Another Mexico state is Campeche.
This state is on the southeast part of Mexico, on the Gulf of Mexico.
It borders Belize and Guatemala to the south.

Campeche's coat of arms has pictures of castle towers for the strength of the Campecheans, and sailing ships for the people who were sailing on the ocean.

Just like many other states in Mexico, there are ancient pyramids in Campeche.

There are many ancient places in this state where they have found sculptures from over a thousand years ago, like in a small island called Jaina Island.

The Fort of San Miguel in San Francisco de Campeche was built hundreds of years ago to fight against pirates.
