The most important part of visiting the Government Palace are the numerous mural paintings by Fernando Castro Pacheco. Don Fernando (Don loosely translates to "mister" though it is used with a man's first name) is a world-acclaimed Yucatecan artist. His work is truly magnificent.

All the works he has done in the Palace are strongly influenced by the history of the Yucatán. He is obviously proud of being a person from this area of rich culture. He depicts people who have been strong in enduring difficulties of all types.
