The Cámara Houses (In Spanish: Las Casas Cámara, “Las Casas Gemelas”Serena Barbieri, “Camara Brothers' Houses” // HistoricalMX ), also known as the Twin Houses (In Spanish: Las Casas Gemelas), are two historic town houses at 495 Paseo de Montejo in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. Built between 1908 and 1911, they were based on a Beux-Arts design in the French Second Empire Style by Gustave Umbdenstock, the French architect. Initially, they served as a private residence for the aristocratic de la Cámara family. In 1964, one of the two houses was acquired by the Barbachano family; since 2021, it has been open to the public as a museum. Over the years, the houses have received countless guests, including Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, Umberto II of Italy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
