The Two Cultures Monument was constructed in 2006 to commemorate the first Catholic mass celebrated in Mexico. It consists of a replica of a Mayan pyramid and three life-size bronze sculptures: a Spanish priest and a Mayan priest standing on the top of the steps, and a Mayan woman and a child stands at the base of the pyramid.
The Mayan woman is barefoot. She is wearing a sleeveless dress that comes down to below her knees. Her hair is worn pulled back over her head into a large ponytail. She is holding a basket of fruit with both hands at waist level. The child is similarly dressed and has the same hairdo. She holds a string of fish with her left hand and the woman's left wrist with her right hand. .
