Capilla de Indios or roofless chapel, the place where the employees of the haciendas who worked the henequen came to pray
Its name is symptomatic of the racial segregation that differentiated Spanish and Mayan communities. In fact, the peninsula has a whole network of such chapels, which were intended only for the Maya and their evangelization. They generally did not have priests, but opened during periodic visits; they are found, among others, in Tibolón, Popolá, Dzibilchaltún, Valladolid and Maní. Also known as the "roofless chapel", this is where the hacienda employees who worked thehenequén came to pray.
