C. Cody Barteet analyzes the facade within the complex colonial world in which it belongs, including in multicultural Yucataan and the transatlantic world. This contextualization allows for an examination of the architectural rhetoric of the facade, the design of which visualizes the contestations of autonomy and authority occurring among the colonial peoples.
