San Gervasio is an archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization, located in the northern third of the island of Cozumel off the northeastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, in what is now the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. San Gervasio's pre-Hispanic name was Tantun Cuzamil, Mayan for Flat Rock in the place of the Swallows. The ruins were once a hub of worship of the goddess Ix Chel, an aged deity of childbirth, fertility, medicine, and weaving. Pre-Columbian Maya women would try to travel to San Gervasio and make offerings at least once in their lives. In 1560, the Spanish historian, Diego Lopez de Cogolludo, wrote: "The pilgrims arrive at Cozumel for the fulfillment of their vows to offer their sacrifices, to ask help for their needs, and for the mistaken adoration of their

  • San Gervasio is an archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization, located in the northern third of the island of Cozumel off the northeastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, in what is now the Mexican state of Quintana Roo.

In 1560, the Spanish historian, Diego Lopez de Cogolludo, wrote: "The pilgrims arrive at Cozumel for the fulfillment of their vows to offer their sacrifices, to ask help for their needs, and for the mistaken adoration of their false gods." The bishop of Yucatán, Diego de Landa, wrote in 1549 that the Maya "held Cozumel in the same veneration as we have for pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Rome, and so they used to go to visit and offer presents there, as we do to holy places; and if they did not go themselves, they always sent their offerings."

  • San Gervasio è un sito archeologico costruito dalla civiltà Maya, situato nel centro dell'isola di Cozumel, presso la costa nord-orientale della penisola dello Yucatán. Le rovine furono un centro religioso dedicato a Ix Chel, la Dea della Luna. La gente Maya visitava il luogo periodicamente per portare doni e offerte. Quando i conquistadores spagnoli arrivarono intorno al 1520, il sito era già abbandonato da tempo. La maggior parte delle strutture possiede dei muri interni in pietra e alcune colonne esterne. La maggior parte delle fondamenta è stata consumata e distrutta con il passare del tempo in quanto erano costruite con legno e canne; molte case di questo tipo circondavano la Plaza Central. (it)
