A Walled City Against Pirates

Campeche built 2.5 kilometres of hexagonal walls with eight bastions from 1686 after repeated pirate raids, including one in 1663 that sacked the city entirely. Much of it survives, and the old town is a UNESCO site.

The clock: Campeche keeps UTC−6. Calakmul, in the same state, was one of the two great Maya superpowers and its main pyramid is one of the tallest in the Maya world.

Campeche lies at 90.5°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:02, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. The zone holds UTC−6 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 20m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 56m. The swing between them is 2h 24m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Campeche the sun comes up earliest on 7 June at 05:22, while the latest sunset waits until 7 July at 18:45. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Campeche that civil twilight runs about 22 minutes at the equinox.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
