For our Geo Quiz today we’re looking for a city named Merida. There are at least four major cities in the world with that name. They include cities in Spain, Venezuela and the Philippines. And there’s one more?
The Merida we’re looking for was founded in the 16th century by Spanish conquistadors. But it was a Mayan cultural center centuries earlier. The modern city is located on the Chicxulub Crater. That’s one of the largest impact craters in the world.
