Ornate baroque, towering columns, paintings & reliefs, gilded plaster, tangled tree of saints and many personages on the ceilings, this Dominican Order church is from the 16th century. Be sure to take it in, a top sight in Oaxaca. More

Santo Domingo is a beautiful church and convent. The interior of the church is beautiful. Make sure you see both the gardens and the museum.

This 400+ year old church is one of the greatest in the western hemisphere. More
